The company has identified an opportunity to work with a European research institute who are in a position to help commercialise a novel tunable mid-infrared laser source. The source will have direct applicability to M Squared’s core customer base in both the atomic and molecular optics and high- resolution spectroscopy markets. The proposed project is designed to explore the commercial opportunities for collaboration in this area and to establish links between the institutions. A long-term strategic partnership is envisaged and the project will enable senior management and technical staff to visit the institute and explore the opportunities, undertake due diligence and will greatly accelerate the time to market of a compelling technology development..
