LightPath Technologies New Product Announcement: RoHS Compliant Glass Aspheric Lenses for Telecommunications Systems
LightPath Technologies Introduces RoHS Compliant, High Index Molded Glass Aspheres for Telecommunications Systems
| Source: LightPath Technologies
ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - December 1, 2009) - LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ : LPTH ) is
pleased to announce the introduction of a new family of RoHS compliant,
high index of refraction molded glass aspheric lenses designed specifically
for the telecommunications market.
Molded aspheric lenses made from lead based glasses have long been used in
laser to fiber coupling systems inside of transceiver packages. RoHS
compliance has been difficult to achieve based on the high performance
requirements of these systems and the inherent capabilities of lead based
glasses. LightPath Technologies has developed a set of lenses that
replaces LightPath's current lead-glass based products and meets the RoHS
standards.
Current demand for LightPath's family of new RoHS compliant lenses is
strong. The requirement for these lenses is being driven by the
infrastructure upgrade for 3G wireless networks and new networks in
developing countries, such as China which has over 700 million subscribers
and continues to grow.
LightPath Technologies is currently manufacturing these lenses in
production volumes through our facility in Shanghai, China.
