Gooch & Housego Adds to Sales Team

Optic and photonic products manufacturer Gooch & Housego of Ilminster, England, announced today the appointments of Scott Soden and Martin Cheng to sales positions on the West Coast of the US and the Asia Pacific region, respectively. Soden, formerly president of Quantum Marketing, an optical component manufacturing sales firm, will join Gooch & Housego as western regional account manager and will be based in Campbell, Calif. Cheng, formerly director of sales/marketing at BinOptics/CyOptics and regional product marketing manager in Agere Systems' Optoelectronics division (formerly Lucent Microelectronics), is now Gooch & Housego's director of sales for Asia Pacific and will be based in Hong Kong. These appointments follow the naming of former Bookham sales director Paul Morris as global senior VP sales, the company said. The new sales team is part of the company's recent integration of five of its photonics companies (See Gooch & Housego Consolidates) and will be present at Photonics West 2008 (Booth 1013), taking place this week at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, Calif.

Glossary

nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
optoelectronics: Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
