Powerful Emitters with Short Rise Times
VCSELs for Greater Range and Higher Resolution in LiDAR Applications
Bedford, NH - March 24, 2020 - LASER COMPONENTS has expanded its range of VCSEL lasers. Its wide range of products now includes emitters with 850 nm and 940 nm in power classes between 200 mW and 50 W. All products are characterized by extremely short rise times and thus support pulse trains in the low nanosecond range and below. Thanks to the semiconductor structure, the emission wavelength remains nearly constant, even with temperature fluctuations. This allows narrow-band bandpass filters to be used on the detector side. Upon customer request, the laser diodes are also available as powerful arrays.
In vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), light is emitted perpendicular to the chip's surface and can therefore be easily collimated. The high power and short pulse sequence of the compact multi-mode lasers make this technology attractive for the LiDAR market, among others. There, these properties ensure greater ranges and higher resolutions. Market researchers therefore assume that the global market for VCSEL lasers will grow rapidly in the next ten years.

Cold air to -50°F (-46°C) from your compressed air supply - with no moving parts!
A low cost, reliable, maintenance free solution to a variety of industrial spot cooling problems. Using an ordinary supply of compressed air as a power source, vortex tubes create two streams of air, one hot and one cold, with no moving parts.
Vortex tubes can produce:
• Temperatures from -50° to +260°F (-46° to +127°C)
• Flow rates from 1 to 150 SCFM (28 to 4248 SLPM)
• Refrigeration up to 10,200 Btu/hr. (2571 Kcal/hr.)
Temperatures, flows and refrigeration are adjustable over a wide range using the control valve on the hot end exhaust.
EXAIR Vortex Tubes are constructed of stainless steel. The wear resistance of stainless steel, as well as its resistance to corrosion and oxidation, assures that EXAIR Vortex Tubes will provide years of reliable, maintenance-free operation. https://exair.co/184_530
