| "Ophir-Spiricon goes wireless" |
| Jan 2008 |
| New on the Ophir-Spiricon booth was its wireless interface for its laser measurement system that exploits Bluetooth technology - which company president Gary Wagner told me is an industry first. In a live demonstration of the Quasar system, a laser energy meter was positioned close a light source on one end of the booth, and the smart heads and computer were located at the other end. The graphical display clearly showed the 60 Hz oscillations in the mains-driven light output.

| "Set for global growth" |
| Electro Optics, June-July 2007 |
John Murphy tracks the recent progress of Ophir, carving out a significant niche in the test and measurement market
It has grown from being a small start-up company in Israel, supplying coating to the military market, to a world-wide brand. Its strategy has been to push the technology to the limit on the one hand and the market to its limit on the other. Its global sales network is now a key driving force in the company’s growth, allowing it to buy in technology through acquisition, which it can then take global. |

| "Who Needs M2 ?" |
| OLE, October 2006 |
Laser processing puts increasing demands on beam quality for the process to be cost-competitive. Merely profiling the beam and comparing the profile to a Gaussian fit is no longer adequate, because it does not guarantee a diffraction-limited beam. A 'Gaussian fit' calculation can deceive the user into assuming propagation properties that will not exist in practice. Thus, the Gaussian fit method can lull the user into a false sense of security of laser performance.
What measurement does provide this information? The Answer is the "Beam Propagation Factor" M2, which quantitatively compares the propagation characteristics of the actual beam to those of a pure TEM0,0 Gaussian beam.

| Photonik International 2006 |
| Instrumentatio for laser beam profiling evolved out of a technology that was not sensitive enough fr imaging. Even though Spiricon (which stands for Solid state Pyroelectric InfraRed Image CONverter) is one of the major supplier of laser beam profiling technology in the world today, it did not set out at first to make these products. Laser Beam, Profiling emerged from the early users of pyroelectric arrays. |

| "Israeli Star Shines Bright" |
| Israel, Sep. 2005 |
| When Ophir Optronics
was founded in 1976 its founders forecast a turnover of US$30
million in 25 years. Their strategic vision has been realized
and Ophir has become an international leader in precision IR
optics components and laser measurement instrumentation employing
the most advanced technologies for military and civilian applications.
Ophir's growth over the years has been a slow but steady rise
in fortunes, and further growth is predicted for the future.
"Our strength lies in our human resources" says managing
director Yoram Shalev. |
