In our last newsletter we announced the start of our in-house production
of InGaAs and extended InGaAs PIN diodes. This time we are able to
present not only additions to the product portfolio but two completely
new members of the LASER COMPONENTS Group.
Microwatt Applications LLC, specialized in the production of pyroelectric
detectors, was acquired and renamed to LASER COMPONENTS Pyro Group. As of
now, high-end pyro detectors based on LiTaO3 and DLaTGS are available
worldwide, made by LASER COMPONENTS.
Our customers in Scandinavia and Finland will be serviced by our new
office LASER COMPONENTS Nordic which is located in Gothenburg and opened
its doors in August.
The LASER COMPONENTS Group is
expanding its activities in the area of IR components and has taken
over the majority of the U.S. manufacturer Microwatt Applications, LLC,
the specialist in the development and production of pyroelectric
detectors.
LASER COMPONENTS DG now manufactures
avalanche photodiodes with fiber pigtails. With a semiautomatic
assembly unit, the fibers can be adjusted exactly to within a few
micrometers and thus achieve output coupling efficiencies of almost
100%.
We use the IBS coater to manufacture
particularly complex coating designs with more than 100 layers. Ion
beam sputtering (IBS) makes it possible to create very compact and
homogeneous layers and new coating materials open up even UV
wavelengths.
Via a serial UART interface, users learn a lot about their
laser module: for example, the operating hours or the temperature on the
inside of the laser module.
LASER COMPONENTS Canada has set a new world record with its
pulsed laser diodes at 905 nm: peak power levels of up to 650 W emitted
from a small TO-18 housing.
At longer wavelengths panchromatic InGaAs has a higher
temperature stability than silicon and is thus a viable alternative in
laser applications at approximately 1,000 nm.
In many applications, the dynamic range of single photon
detectors is an important parameter. Thus, it has always been our goal to
further reduce the dead time of our COUNT® photon counters.
Effective immediately, 635 nm laser diodes with 500 mW are
also available in a TO housing. Laser Components introduces two new
products: ADL-63V0BTP and ADL-63V0ANP.
