Santa Clara, CA--Redfern Integrated Optics, Inc. (RIO), which supplies low-noise semiconductor lasers and subsystems grew its product revenue by 33% sequentially in the first quarter of 2011. The company says this is the 11th consecutive quarter of strong revenue growth since the launch of its laser product line, which includes lasers aimed at applications in security, wind energy, oil and gas exploration and production, structural health monitoring, and metrology markets.
.
The company also announced that because of its telecom-grade laser technology, product design, and stringent qualification and quality assurance systems, its laser product line has surpassed four million cumulative device hours with no field returns.
âQ1 has shown robust bookings in all our served markets and regions, with security and LIDAR coming in particularly strong. We are delighted to report solid revenue growth for the 11th consecutive quarter, despite the slowdown in government spending worldwide and continued softness in global economiesâ, said Dr. Radu Barsan, Chairman, President and CEO of RIO.
Dr. Georgios Margaritis, RIOâs Director of Quality and Reliability, commented: âThe outgoing quality and field reliability of our products is of paramount importance to our customers as they often deploy their systems in harsh and difficult to access environments. We want them to not have to touch our laser once installed in the field. Therefore our team spares no efforts to ensure that every single unit is built to the exacting requirements of RIOâs quality management system and of the Telcordia GR-468 standards. Having accumulated thus far more than 4 million device hours with no field failures, we will continue to report on our products reliability performance going forward.â
