For over 40 years, Newport has been working with and for researchers to develop and deliver innovative and performance driven products. Newport Products have helped our scientific and research customers to continuously improve their experimental design and results. We leverage a broad range of technology, experience and knowledge to provide leading products and complete laboratory solutions. Products that include Spectra-Physics lasers, Oriel light sources and spectrometers, Optical tables, Optics and Opto-Mechanical components, Photonic instruments and Motion systems.
To further enhance the performance and support on application-based uses of Newport components, Newport has created an internal research and development group known as the Technology and Applications Center (TAC) for primarily testing and integrating the components to develop application-specific solutions for our customers in the research and scientific market. Using our own in-house expertise and collaborative relationships with key educational institutions, the members of this team develop complete application solutions and systems that help our customers remain on the cutting edge. They collect data, conduct experiments and publish technical articles, application notes and tutorials. For further detail on the application-based products and systems, as well as collaborative opportunities, please contact Newport to get in touch with our Technology and Applications Center staff members.
