Wells Research & Development公司简介
Ben Wells, President of WRD, launched the company in 1996, after working in engineering and management at Polaroid, Teradyne and Reflection Technology. WRD began as a consulting firm, solving optical design, test, and fabrication problems for clients. Mr. Wells holds 14 US patents, and has received numerous industry awards.
Responding to a recurring demand from clients, in 2002 Mr. Wells introduced the first OpticStudio™ instrument, the OS100. The OS100 was exclusively distributed in the ThorLabs catalog, an arrangement that continued through the third quarter of 2005.
In 2006 the OpticStudio™ line was expanded to include additional instruments, as well as systems targeted at specific markets. Distribution in the US is now handled directly by WRD. Overseas sales are handled by local representatives.
