OREANDA-NEWS. May 25, 2015. The Laser Industry Awards recognize outstanding products and technologies that contribute to the development of laser-related industries. The award ceremony took place during LASER EXPO2015 at the Pacifico Yokohama Convention Center in Yokohama, Japan in April.

The Laser Society of Japan commented: "The DIABREZZATM wind measurement lidar was developed by combining various cutting-edge technologies as a unique lidar instrument that is expected to make a significant contribution to the safety of aviation, an area in which it is leading the world. In recent years, radio-wave frequency bands have become increasingly restricted, so it is significant that this instrument utilizes an optical method that is free from installation restrictions. As a result, demand is expected to be stronger in the future. The product has great social value because, in addition to use as an environmental and meteorological measurement instrument, it can be used to observe wind conditions for wind-power generation. It also has exceptionally innovative value for lasers. In view of the intellectual property rights acquired, it has promising potential, including for its spin-off effects. We believe this product deserves the Excellence Award."
