Back at BIOS - Booth # 8222. Drop by & say Hi!

And.... Looks like today is the day! Congratulations again to everyone involved! #ghgsat #mpbcommunications #irisinspace #spacephotonics #montreal #greenhousegases #MPBC #countdowntolaunch #innovation #methane #satellite

.... and we wait. The launch has been postponed due to bad weather. Stay tuned....

The spectrometer on the IRIS satellite is an improved design based on lessons learned from its sister-satellite CLAIRE - greatly improving emission detection, yet maintaining the same volume, mass and power constraints. #ghgsat #mpbcommunications #irisinspace #spacephotonics #montreal #greenhousegases #MPBC #countdowntolaunch #innovation #methane #satellite

The count-down continues! An inside-look at MPBC's contribution! #ghgsat #mpbcommunications #irisinspace #spacephotonics #montreal #greenhousegases #MPBC

Congratulations to our Space Photonics team for their work on the Imaging Spectrometer, and everyone at GHGSat for the upcoming launch of the next Green House Gas Satellite - IRIS #countdowntolaunch #irisinspace

ESO has signed an agreement with TOPTICA for the production of lasers to be used in ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) adaptive optics system. TOPTICA, along... with MPB Communications Inc. , will build four laser units for the ELT, helping it to achieve unprecedented spatial resolution for optical/infrared ground-based telescopes. #ELTProgress #BiggestEyeOnTheSky http://socsi.in/w4lTT Credit: ESO Astronomy /L.

Jason caught this leaving MPB last night

Drs. Wally Clements, Director of Engineering & Development, and Daoping Wei, Senior Optical Scientist of MPB Communications Inc., have returned from the OSA Awards Ceremony held on September 18, 2017 at the Frontiers in Optics Conference in Washington DC, where they received the 2017 Paul F. Forman Team Engineering Excellence Award for the Guide Star Alliance. The award was bestowed upon MPB Communications Inc. and Toptica Photonics AG for their collaboration on bringing to l...ight the most powerful Guide Star Laser system in the world. Under contract from, and in close collaboration with the European Southern Observatory (ESO), these two industrial partners developed a high-power CW tunable laser system called the SodiumStar. Dr. Wally Clements led the MPB team that developed and provided the 100W-class fiber pump lasers and the high-power, narrow-linewidth Raman fiber amplifiers for the system. The teams development is now considered the quasi-standard for existing and planned next-generation telescopes around the world.

The clock is ticking.... but there is still time to get your proposal in to win the use of an MPB Fiber Laser for your research project. See http://mpbcommunications.com/contest/ for more... #CelebrationOfInnovation #MPBFiberLaser

Did You Know.... MPB developed its first 592 nm 1.5 W laser on the request of Nobel Laureate Dr. Stefan Hell for the Max Planck Institute STED System. Connected by innovation, MPB has since provided Max Planck Institutes with high power laser modules at 542 nm, 546 nm, 560 nm, 570 nm, 670 nm, and 775 nm pulsed.

Did You Know... Success of the early experiments using the first Visible Fiber Laser for Flow Cytometry - MPBCs 580 nm VFL - started things rolling. MPBC was soon contacted by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Dr. Vladislav Verkhusha asked our scientists if it was possible to develop a 200mW laser with emission at 592nm to optimize excitation of Texas Red.... These new compact, reliable, maintenance-free lasers were opening up bandwidths that were previously difficult to achieve without large and power hungry, maintenance-intensive and expensive lasers systems. Eight weeks after Dr. Verkhushas request, MPBC shipped a prototype of its 592nm Visible Fiber Laser to AECM. In April 2008, Solid State Yellow and Orange Lasers for Flow Cytometry. was published: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cyto.a.20563/full

Did You Know.... The first Visible Fiber Laser for flow cytometry was developed, built and tested in conjunction with Dr. William Telford of N.I.H. National Cancer Institute Flow Cytometry Core Facility. MPB's 200mW 580nm laser unit was mounted on a BD Biosciences LSR II flow cytometer and used excitation of probes Texas Red and Alexa Fluor 594. A paper by Dr. William Telford, and MPB staff, was presented at the CLEO conference in 2007:... http://mpbcommunications.com/images/papers/MPB_CLEO.pdf See more

There is still plenty of time to submit your proposal for a chance to win the use of an MPB Fiber Laser for your university or not-for-profit lab. More info @ mpbc.ca/contest #mpbfiberlaser #celebrationofinnovation

Last day to drop by OFC Booth #2719! We're featuring our L-Band Telecom equipment, our VERSA2 One-Box-Solution network equipment, some of our instruments and Gain Modules, and our patented Super Raman pumps. Come by & say hi! #OFC2017 #mpbcommunications #celebrationofinnovation

OFC 2017! As far back as 2000, MPB Communications Inc. has been participating at OFC - the Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition. This year, we are focusing on our line of Network-Ready L-Band Flattened Boosters and Preamplifiers, and our VERSA2 Single Box Solution for STM1 to STM64. We're at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Island #2719 (the picture is of Beata; found on OFC's site from last year.)

MPB Communications President, Jane Bachynski, is pleased to announce that MPB Communications Inc. will be holding a contest open to universities and not-for-profit laboratories for the chance to have use of an MPB VFL visible fiber laser for their research facility for a three-year period. MPB has a history of working with pioneering researchers to help them develop new processes and techniques using novel fiber lasers. The purpose of this contest is to give younger resear...chers access to unique tools which will allow them to explore their own innovative ideas, said Ms. Bachynski. The contest is part of a year-long Celebration of Innovation initiative celebrating the companys 40th anniversary. http://mpbcommunications.com//celebration-of-innovation.ht #mpbcommunications #celebrationofinnovation #visiblefiberlasers #MPBCat40 #telecomsubsystems #montrealinnovation

40 years ago today, Dr. Morrel P. Bachynski and seven scientists, engineers, and technicians started their first day of work at MPB Technologies. Did they foresee that the company they created would be responsible for the worlds first fiber optic undersea switching device? Or first visible fiber laser that would lead to such novel breakthrough applications in biomedicine? Or have helped create the worlds brightest artificial star? Hard to imagine they did, but we cant be a...nything but proud of the path Dr. B. set out for us. Heres to 40 years, and 40 years more!
