Fibolocator
-
Fibolocator is an innovative device for measuring and characterizing breaks and other backscattering-causing faults in optical fibers. Time-resolved correlation reflectometry is the principle on which the device is based. It analyzes the backscattered light like a pulse OTDR, but unlike such OTDRs, cw laser diodes are used. The requirements for the test signal and the complexity of the system are low, which leads to very low costs for OEM subsystems.

The Optoelectronics Company Ltd
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors is a key player in the field of visible InGaN (Indium Gallium Nitride) lasers. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors offer leading product performance and innovative packaging. Thanks to their excellent beam quality, OSRAM laser diodes are ideally suited for the optical imaging of light. Not only that, but their small package size is particularly beneficial to highly compact systems, such as pico projectors. OSRAM laser diodes offer high efficiency and long lifetime: due to their excellent efficiency (ratio of light produced compared to electric power consumed), the temperature increase experienced by blue InGaN lasers during operation is kept to an absolute minimum, allowing them to deliver a long life – up to 10,000 hours at 40 °C.

Spot Creator
-
Advanced Photonic Sciences LLC
Spot Creator is an innovative accessory developed for enhancing the performance of blue laser diode based engraving and cutting machines. Spot Creator solves a major problem with using asymmetric blue laser diodes: the production of engraving features that are different in the X-Y directions, resulting in unequal or blurred lines. Using Spot Creator, line widths are equal in the X-Y directions, with a minimum spot of 50 μm. The intensity on the engraved part is thus maximized.

LIV – High-power Laser Diode Testing
-
An important aspect of the development and manufacture of laser diodes is the so-called laser diode characterization, or laser IV curve. By applying increasing current to the laser diode so it that emits light, the optical output is measured together with the voltage drop across the diode element. The resulting LIV curve reveals important clues about the quality of manufacture and the performance of the laser diode, enabling a pass/fail decision to be met.

Current Pulsers and Laser Diode Drivers (Pulsed Current)
-
These instruments generate current pulses whose amplitude is largely independent of the load voltage. This makes them ideal for pulsing device whose voltage may vary with time (for instance, the voltage drop of laser diodes may vary with temperature, or explosive squibs which change impedance during ignition). This voltage independence is a trade-off with speed. If faster rise times are required, consider using pulsed voltage instruments instead.
