Cree, Inc., a market leader in LED lighting, announces that Gwangju, South Korea, is the first city in South Korea to join the LED City initiative, an international program that promotes the deployment of energy-efficient LED lighting. Gwangju, South Korea's center for the advancement of photonics, is home to 180 companies that were formed to research, develop and commercialize LED lighting products.

The A1190/2/3 family, new from Allegro MicroSystems Europe, are a range of user-programmable Hall-effect switches that complement the company's existing family of devices used in automotive seat-belt buckle, seat position, and gear-shift selector applications.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new range of silicon detectors and image sensors that offer enhanced near-infrared sensitivity. Using unique laser processing technology, MEMS structures can be fabricated on the silicon surface which act to reduce reflections and increase the surface area of the active element. This process drastically increases the sensitivity in wavelengths longer than 800nm.

Optoelectronic systems are being used to an increasing extent in the manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) modules and are helping greatly to increase production efficiency. In particular, laser technology is proving its superiority in processes such as material removal, fusion, soldering, welding and drilling. Lasers have become indispensable tools, especially in the manufacture of thin-layer solar cells. Manufacturers are therefore profiting directl...
