The partners will incorporate VCSEL array light sources into lidar to improve its cost and scalability
The £50k project is focused on next-generation quantum timing applications in strontium-atom-based, optical clocks
Power consumption is critical in many sensing applications that use VCSELs. This whitepaper discusses how the characterization of VCSELs in both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed operation mode can be simplified.
Trumpf has delivered its billionth vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) to European partner STMicroelectronics
Trumpf is acquiring 100 per cent of Photonics GmbH from Philips, headquartered in Ulm, Germany. The move, which represents Trumpf's largest acquisition since buying JFY in China in 2013, opens up a new market segment for Trumpf to complement its existing high-power diode laser business
