Company’s Pumped Argon Laser Will Appear in the Hit CBS Series

MILPITAS, Calif., November 8, 2006 – JDSU, the leading enabler of broadband and optical innovation, will light up television screens tonight on the hit series “CSI: NY.” CBS Television chose JDSU to supply a pumped argon laser for a scene in this evening’s episode.

In the episode titled “Consequences,” the investigation into the death of a paintball player becomes more complicated when the team’s prime suspect goes missing and the evidence at that scene possibly implicates one of their own.

"While our lasers are well-known for their performance and reliability by our broad commercial base, this opportunity is a first for us,” said Jim Christian, laser product manager, JDSU.  “It's exciting to see our laser featured on a popular, primetime television show.”
