GSI Group Laser Division appoints fiber laser product manager

GSI Group Inc. Laser Division, Rugby, U.K., a manufacturer of industrial lasers, has appointed Mark Richmond as product manager.

Richmond, who has more than a decade of experience within GSI Group, works to promote understanding of the company's JK fiber laser and to promote fiber lasers to companies that may not have considered using them. He also oversees R&D.

An engineer with a doctorate in laser physics from Oxford University, Richmond helped develop the GSI's lamp pump lasers as principal engineer during the 1990s, targeting specific applications. He also spearheaded R&D of diode pump lasers for what was then known as GSI Lumonics. After a stint with laser manufacturer Spectron, he returned to GSI Laser Division in 2003 and is based at the division's headquarters in Rugby.
