Marburg, Germany and Longmont, Co, February 13, 2004. Sacher Lasertechnik and Triad Technology agreed to form a strategic partnership with the goal to develop ultra-stable laser light sources based on stabilized external cavity diode lasers. Sacher Lasertechnik is a manufacturer of tunable high-power external cavity diode lasers with several patents on external cavity diode lasers as well as on performing antireflection coatings for diode lasers.

Triad Technology was founded by former board members of EOSI, which was acquired by Newport in 1999. Triad Technology contributes the technology of manufacturing high quality reference gas cells as well as electronic stabilization techniques to the partnership.

The goal of this strategic partnership is to gain the technology and market leadership in the field of ultra stable high power laser systems. Applications will include frequency standards, optical cooling and trapping as well as spectroscopy in general.
