Fibre laser tunes in for opto testing
Fibre-optic test equipment developer Calmar Optcom has introduced an ultrafast fibre laser designed for test applications of Sonet/STM components.
Using patent pending technology, these are billed as the most uniform backlights on the market and come in an ultraslim housing only 8.5mm thick.
Phlox was developed in France for the visual communications market, but applications in machine vision, medical and industrial lighting quickly became apparent.
Rated to IP65 the backlights are suitable for use in harsh environments.
The technology is based around the technique of engraving mathematically calculated microprisms in the PMMA.
The LEDs are then precisely positioned to edge-light the material.
A combination of these two techniques greatly enhanced the light intensity and uniformity.
The uniformity can be up to +/- 3% and luminance up to 30,000cd/m2 on custom products.
Backlights using red LEDs have a lifetime of 100kh and the white LED 50kh.
Further advantages of this technology are low power consumption, less than 500mA, and heat free operation which increases lifetime.
Custom models can be made in any size required.
These backlights outperform fibre optic and standard LED matrix backlights in terms of uniformity, intensity, thickness and lifetime. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
