Each month, the editors of Photonics Tech Briefs (PTB) select a Product of the Month. At the end of the year, we ask our readers to choose the Product of the Year -- the one product from those eight nominees that they feel was the most significant new product introduced to the photonics engineering community in 2006.
The readers of PTB have selected the Product of the Year for 2006. The top three products will be recognized at a special awards dinner to be held in New York City and hosted by the editors of NASA Tech Briefs and Photonics Tech Briefs.
The top three winners chosen by PTB readers are:
1. Toshiba Imaging Systems, Irvine, CA, for the IK-TF9C Three-Chip Color CCD Camera
2. Lambda Solutions, Waltham, MA, for the Dimension-P Series Raman Spectrometer
3. Newport Corp., Irvine, CA, for the Helios Transient Absorption Spectroscopy System
