Swiss laser company launches US operation

Aug. 1, 1998
Altitun AB (Kista, Switzerland), which entered the solid-state-laser market in February, has launched a wholly owned US subsidiary, Altitun Inc. (Pepperell, MA). Mark Graf, founder and former general manager of Diamond USA Inc. (Chelmsford, MA), is in charge of the US operation. The company makes a series of monolithic, tunable lasers for dense wavelength-division multiplexing--covering the erbium amplification band (from 1525 to 1565 nm). Altitun is an outgrowth of the Industrial Microelectroni
