Coherent Acquires Ondax

Coherent (Santa Clara, California) has recently acquired Ondax (Monrovia, California), expanding its portfolio of components, lasers, and laser systems. Ondax, founded in 2000, provides volume holographic gratings, wavelength-stabilized and narrow-linewidth lasers for spectroscopy and instrumentation; as well as THz-Raman spectroscopy systems for advanced materials characterization.

Coherent requests that its clients continue to interact with their established Ondax contacts as the company integrates Ondax into its global team. Coherent assures its clients that it is committed to timely and clear communication as it moves through the integration process.

As a provider of laser technology across materials processing, microelectronics, life sciences, and scientific research applications, Coherent said in a statement that the acquisition of Ondax will complement its existing product portfolio of components, lasers, and laser systems, and that it will broaden its product capabilities in Raman markets.
