Dynamic Light was formed when Visiray merged with Inmed, a laser distribution companybased in England. Dynamic Light designs, manufactures and markets medical laser productsworld wide. The Industrial Systems Division was formed within Dynamic Light tocommercialise non-medical laser systems developed by CSIRO. My role was Manager ofIndustrial Systems, which included product development, manufacturing and marketing to theindustrial sector.I was responsible for the management of the hydrogen fluoride monitor project, includingmarketing, R & D and production. I successfully negotiated and obtained a licence agreementwith CSIRO Division of Minerals for the HF monitor technology for aluminium smelters. The HFmonitor uses a specially developed laser tube, along with sophisticated optics and electronics,to detect levels on hydrogen fluoride gas in Aluminium smelters. The laser beam travels thelength of the pot rooms, which can be up to 1 km long, in order to measure the HF levels in theentire pot room.My role included achieving the following:· Market research for HF monitor in Australian and overseas aluminium smelters.· Transfer of technology between CSIRO and Dynamic Light.· Design of the commercial HF monitor particularly the optical and mechanical components.· Manage a team of electronic and software engineers.· Preparation of tenders for the sale of HF monitors to aluminium smelters.· Component purchasing and production of first batch of commercial HF monitors.· Installation and commissioning of HF monitors.· Documentation of HF monitor, including purchasing, production, testing, operators manual and service manual.Within six months, sales of HF monitors to four of six aluminium smelters in Australia wereachieved.

Visiray designed, manufactured and marketed medical laser products. Devices based oncopper vapour lasers are used mainly in dermatology/plastic surgery to treat vascular lesions.Other laser systems are used in a process known a photodynamic therapy for the treatment ofcertain kinds of cancers by the interaction of a special drug with the intense light from the laser.Visiray lasers and accessories are used by hospitals, research institutions, clinics andindividual physicians, with customers; The product development involved complex systems, including laser optical delivery, hightemperature laser tubes, vacuum and flowing gas systems, very fast switching high voltagecircuits and computer controlled electronics.My responsibilities at Visiray included hands-on engineering and team management for thesuccessful completion of the following:· Product development of air-cooled and water-cooled copper vapour lasers including the laser models VCM-03, VCM-05, VCM-10, VCM-30.· Product development of accessories and medical attachments for the copper vapour lasers which includes the models VSM-10, VSM-30 which have scanner attachments.· Development and testing of dye laser for use with copper vapour lasers and other lasers.
