President and CEO
Michael Lebby’s career has spanned all aspects of the optoelectronics and
photonics business ranging from research and development, operations,
manufacturing, and finance, to sales, marketing, and investing. He holds more
than 175 U.S. patents issued in the optoelectronics and photonics field.
Lebby graduated with honors in the UK 1984 and started researching InP-based
optoelectronic integrated circuits at RSRE in Malvern. In 1985, Lebby’s research
took him to AT&T Bell Laboratories photonics research division where he pursued
OEIC-based themes that incorporated both optoelectronic and electronic device
functionalities. In 1989 Lebby took his research studies to Motorola's Phoenix
Corporate Research Laboratory in Arizona. At Motorola, Lebby developed highly
reliable VCSEL based technologies and initiated Motorola’s parallel optics
interconnect program that was called Optobus™. As an R&D leader, Lebby led his
research team to qualify the VCSEL and packaging technology using traditional
Motorola qualification procedures. Lebby broadened his optoelectronic R&D skills
through his role as Business Technology Development Manager in 1997. In this
role, Lebby managed all aspects of advanced technologies in corporate R&D that
included micro-displays, organic LEDs, laser diodes and detector arrays.
In August 1998, Lebby joined AMP (now Tyco) as a member of the Global
Optoelectronics Division's management team. At Tyco he was responsible for
growing the fiber optic datacom and telecom business through external
interactions that included mergers, acquisitions strategic alliances, and
technical strategic planning. Lebby drove Tyco’s return into the 1 Gbps Ethernet
transceiver market based on VCSEL technology. During the summer of 1999, Lebby
joined Intel as a corporate investor and was responsible for sourcing,
negotiating, and closing private placement equity deals in the optical
networking, component, and semiconductor arenas. Lebby participated in a number
of board level activities in the optoelectronics sector.
In January 2001, Lebby founded a new fiber optics company, Ignis Optics, where
he served as the CEO. Lebby led the company to secure multinational customers in
the telecommunications market. Lebby’s team helped define the XFP standard for
10 Gbps transceivers, which gave the company market leadership on a global
level. Ignis Optics was acquired by Bookham Technology in October 2003 and Lebby
became responsible for corporate and technical strategy at Bookham Technology.
Dr. Lebby joined OIDA as Executive Director in early 2005 and was elected as the
new president and CEO of OIDA on February 17, 2006.
In November 2005, Lebby was elected an IEEE Fellow for contributions to

and directed energy weapons. Semiconductor lasers are ideally suited for defense
and avionics applications because of their compact size, efficient lightweight
design, and robust operation in stressful environments. Several military
applications have the potential of adopting direct diode sources as a result of
ongoing advances in semiconductor laser technology such as efficiency
improvements, brightness and power scaling, increased spectral stability and
brightness, and extended wavelength range into the visible/UV as well as the
eye-safe and mid-IR regime.

AOTF Infrared Spectrometer
Del Mar Photonics offer a handheld
infrared spectrometer based on the
acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF). This instrument is about the size and
weight of a video camera, and can be battery operated. This unique, patented
device is all solid-state with no moving parts. It has been sold for a wide
variety of applications such as liquid fuel analysis, pharmaceutical analysis,
gas monitoring and
plastic analysis.
Miniature AOTF infrared spectrometer uses
a crystal of tellurium dioxide to scan the wavelength. Light from a light source enters
the crystal, and is diffracted into specific wavelengths. These wavelengths are
determined by the frequency of the electrical input to the crystal. Since there
are no moving parts, the wavelength scanning can be extremely fast. In addition,
specific wavelengths can be chosen by software according to the required algorithm, and therefore can be modified without changing the
hardware. After the infrared radiation reflects off of the sample, it is
converted into an electrical signal by the detector and analyzed by the
computer. Del Mar Photonics is looking for international distributors for
RAVEN - AOTF IR spectrometer for plastic identification and for variety of
scientific and industrial collaborations to explore futher commercial potential
of AOTF technology.

Hatteras-D
femtosecond transient absorption data acquisition system
Future nanostructures and biological nanosystems will take
advantage not only of the small dimensions of the objects but of the
specific way of interaction between nano-objects. The interactions
of building blocks within these nanosystems will be studied and optimized on
the
femtosecond time scale - says Sergey Egorov, President and CEO of Del Mar
Photonics, Inc. Thus we put a lot of our efforts and resources into the
development of new Ultrafast
Dynamics Tools such as our Femtosecond Transient Absorption Measurements
system Hatteras. Whether you want to
create a new photovoltaic system that will efficiently convert photon energy
in charge separation, or build a molecular complex that will dump photon energy
into local heat to kill cancer cells, or create a new fluorescent probe for
FRET microscopy, understanding of internal dynamics on femtosecond time scale
is utterly important and requires advanced measurement techniques.Reserve a

Beacon together with Trestles Ti:sapphire oscillator, second and third harmonic
generators. Femtosecond optical gating (FOG) method gives best temporal
resolution in light-induced fluorescence lifetime measurements. The resolution
is determined by a temporal width of femtosecond optical gate pulse and doesn't
depend on the detector response function. Sum frequency generation (also called
upconversion) in nonlinear optical crystal is used as a gating method in the
Beacon femtosecond fluorescence kinetic measurement system. We offer
Beacon-DX for operation together with Ti: sapphire femtosecond oscillators
and Beacon-DA for operation together with femtosecond amplified pulses.

Frequency-stabilized CW
single-frequency ring Dye laser DYE-SF-007 pumped by DPSS DMPLH laser installed
in the brand new group of Dr. Dajun Wang at the The Chinese University of Hong
Kong.
DYE-SF-077 features exceptionally narrow generation line width, which
amounts to less than 100 kHz. DYE-SF-077 sets new standard for generation
line width of commercial lasers. Prior to this model, the narrowest line-width
of commercial dye lasers was as broad as 500 kHz - 1 MHz. It is necessary to
note that the 100-kHz line-width is achieved in DYE-SF-077 without the use of an
acousto-optical modulator, which, as a rule, complicates the design and
introduces additional losses. A specially designed ultra-fast PZT is used for
efficient suppression of radiation frequency fluctuations in a broad frequency
range. DYE-SF-077 will be used in resaerch of Ultracold polar molecules,
Bose-Einstein condensate and quantum degenerate Fermi gas and High resolution
