"Ultra-wideband fused couplers are still in wide demand for OCT applications. Since we have started exploring their potential at G&H, we have noticed they have become the component of choice for fiber-based optical coherence tomography because of their unique capacity to handle wide spectral bands of various light sources. And with the rise of non-invasive imaging, we expect a steady growth in this area still."
- Toby Reid, Product Management Director, G&H

"20 years ago, the first rovers landed on Mars, starting to shape what we know about outer space exploration. Today, people like myself and our team at G&H can be proud to contribute to the evolution of such an impressive dream. The development of solutions such as the Acousto-optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) epitomizes two core values of our company: passion and precision. So far, space agencies on three different continents have included G&H components into their space exploration and earth observation technologies. We are looking forward to pushing boundaries in this sector even further."
