ZEPHYR COVE, NV--(Marketwired - Oct 9, 2013) - Zephyr Photonics' unique high-temperature optical, VCSEL-based technology was featured in Oil and Gas Innovation Center's September 2013 publication. The Oil and Gas Innovation Center profiles technologies developed in other industries having crossover applicability in the petroleum industry. This resource focuses exclusively on the technology needs of the petroleum industry and featured Zephyr Photonics' high-temperature (up to 175°C) optical components capable of high-speed data transmission and operation in downhole applications. Such high temperature components will allow more time on hole for sensing and collecting measurements while drilling (MWD) for downhole and directional drilling applications.
Duane Louderback, Zephyr Photonics' President, explained, "It is great to find such a targeted outlet to help build awareness of our unique high temperature optical capabilities. We look forward to the industry leveraging our technology to drive productivity increases."
