High power lasers use quantum well intermixing
Hermes high power laser products are designed for use in industrial, medical, defence and aerospace applications where high brightness and optical conversion efficiency are needed.
Lasers offer longer working lives
The Hermes stacks degrade by less than 5% over two 10E8 shots as compared to competitive products that degrade by 20% or more.
Intense will exhibit at Booth 5041 in the Main Hall Foyer of the conference.
In addition, Professor John Marsh, PhD, Intense's CTO, will demonstrate the products in a special presentation on Tuesday 23rd January 2007 at 1230 local time, in the South Hall.
At Photonics West, Intense will introduce Hermes, an advanced family of high power diode lasers.
Hermes lasers are designed specifically for high power uses such as computer-to-plate printing, defence, industrial, and coding and marking applications.
Intense will also demonstrate the INSlam and DLAM products at Photonics West.
INSlam devices are modular, single mode or multimode laser diodes designed for printing, materials processing and directed energy systems.
The DLAM family of direct laser marking products increases speed, reduces complexity, and delivers unrivalled cost savings for direct printing and coding applications.
Intense's unique Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) process allows for the integration of passive areas within the active region of high power laser diodes.
Passive nonabsorbing mirrors are created at the facet regions of the laser cavities to avoid catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD), a problem frequently encountered in typical laser devices.
This, combined with the company's proprietary design techniques, results in diodes of superior brightness, longer lifetimes and increased reliability.
