Lasers and diodes

Princeton Optronics - an expert in high efficiency, high power VCSELs and VCSEL arrays - have introduced a 250W VCSEL array at 808nm designed especially for hair removal and other aesthetics applications

An expanded series of light show and entertainment lasers from Coherent enable show designers to produce sophisticated visual displays and effects with increased brightness and better definition

NKT Photonics introduced the new generation of its Koheras Boostik lasers - a maintenance free single-frequency fibre laser system with a combination of narrow linewidth, pristine beam quality, and high output power

Laser Components offers the Rio Orion laser module which has ultra-low phase noise and narrow linewidth, exceptional wavelength stability, very low RIN, and up to 20mW output power

IMM Photonics has added a series of green laser diode modules with output powers of 0.9mW and 5mW to its range

A wide range of high-performance CW lasers can now be rented from Lithuanian company Integrated Optics

The new StingRay µFocus laser line generators from Coherent enable the detection of smaller features in machine vision applications based on triangulation

Cobolt has launched the Cobolt Tor XS, a high performance Q-switched laser at 1,064nm designed for OEM integration into hand-held or portable instruments targeting LIBS applications

Laser Components has expanded its range of Flexpoint MVmicro machine vision laser modules to include a microcontroller, allowing users to interface with the module through an RS232 connector

Laser Components now offers laser sources manufactured by Redfern Integrated Optics (RIO). These high-performance, single-frequency external cavity lasers (ECLs) are based on RIO's Planex proprietary planar technology
