"We are very proud to have been selected for this award", said Aaron Van Pelt, Product Marketing Engineer at Bookham New Focus.
"Bookham is committed to serving the R and D market".
"We are pleased to receive this recognition that our products continue to be at the cutting-edge of technology".
Designed specifically to minimise contamination and outgassing in clean-critical environments including very deep ultraviolet (VUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) semiconductor and scientific applications, the New Focus Picomotor Actuator Ultra offers sub-30nm resolution (over a 3mm travel range) along with exceptional long-term set-and-hold stability in environments down to vacuum pressures as low as 10e-9torr.
These actuators are extremely stiff and can hold their set position with no applied power.
The awards, the 42nd annual competition held by R and D Magazine, saw entries from many of the most prestigious companies, research organisations, and universities in the world.
The judges included the editors of R and D Magazine and 50 outside experts.
