February 15, 2008, Ann Arbor, MI--Last April, when fiber-laser developer IMRA America signed a supplier agreement with Carl Zeiss Meditec (Jena, Germany) for Zeiss' Visumax laser keratome system, the event marked a significant turning point for IMRA. Founded in 1990 by Minoru Toyoda, chairman of Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. (Kariya City, Japan), IMRA has a reputation for developing and delivering quality femtosecond fiber lasers and for consistently defending its strong patent position through licensing agreements with SPI Lasers, Toptica, Aculight, Nufern, Naval Research Lab, and others.
