LASERS manufacturer Edinburgh Instruments (EI) has secured a contract with Japan’s largest technology institute, in a move helping propel it towards a £7.5 million annual turnover target months ahead of schedule.
EI is supplying Tokyo’s flagship Institute of Technology’s research laboratories, through its photonics division, with its PL5 series of gas lasers that have applications, in particular, for homeland security and radar modelling.
Tokyo Tech, as it is known, operates the world-class supercomputer Tsubame 2.0, used to simulate complex systems such as the planets and the financial sector. It has more than 10,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students on its books.
The size of the Japanese deal has not been disclosed, but the Livingston-based firm’s chief executive Alan Faichney says it is one of a series of revenue-boosting new deals.
