The presentations take place in the Market Focus pavilion on May 13 on the CLEO: 2015 show floor. The 2015 winning companies and their innovations will be presented as follows:

13:00 - 13:20 Analytical Instruments or Systems Category Winner
AUREA Technology – Booth 1435
For the first “all-in-one” Time Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) analyzer with fully integrated picosecond laser source and novel time-to-digital-converter technologies that delivers ultra-high photon detection efficiency and low-dark-count-rate within the 400 nm to 1700 nm range in a compact package with an easy to use customer-centric graphical user interface.

13:20 - 13:40 Lasers and Sources Category Winner
Northrop Grumman – Cutting Edge Optronics – Booth 2312
Gigashot-HE all-diode-pumped Joule class laser system
The Gigashot-HE diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) Nd:YAG laser system outputs more than 2 J of 532 nm energy in each sub-10 ns pulse at 10 Hz with a near-field flat-top beam profile. Using long-life QCW pump laser diodes operating for more than 10 billion shots, this system is scalable to repetition rates greater than 100Hz and is an ideal pump source for Ti:Sapphire amplifiers, OPOs and OPCPAs, and for terawatt/petawatt high-energy science.

13:40 - 14:00 Optical Components Category Winner
Inrad Optics – Booth 1917
Stilbene crystals for neutron detection
For the development of large single crystals of stilbene--an organic scintillator that, when coupled with a photodetector, has superior performance for applications in fast neutron detection in a gamma background--and the successful transition of stilbene crystal growth methods from an R&D setting into low-rate commercial production.

A video of the CLEO/Laser Focus World Innovation Award winners will also appear on the Laser Focus World website shortly after the conference concludes.
