QUEBEC, Feb. 1 -- LYRtech Inc. and Defence Research Establishment Valcartier (DREV) have signed a $120,000 contract for the development of a miniature laser detector. This new contract consolidates our cooperative arrangement with DREV, a research center with which we have had business dealings for several years now, said Louis N. Bélanger, executive vice president and CEO of LYRtech. It also comes at a time when our order book is growing extensively. The agreement follows in the wake of a contract signed recently with EXFO and confirms recognition of LYRtech inc. expertise in the field of optics, photonics and lasers.
