OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Showcases Laser Diode Products at Photonics West.


Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

Photonics West

Booth #1727

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 27, 2004

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, a leader in the manufacture and marketing of semiconductor-related products, will showcase its ever-expanding suite of laser diode solutions at Photonics West, January 24-29 at the San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County.  (booth #1727).

Recent advancements in materials and design at OSRAM have been incorporated into a new generation of single-quantum-well (SQW SQW Single Quantum Well
SQW Square Wave
SQW Strained Quantum Well
SQW SQL Warehousing Tool
) laser diodes, which exhibit outstanding electro-optical and thermal-mechanical properties. The SQW laser diodes are extremely robust and resistant to thermal fatigue, even when operated in the most challenging of pulse sequences, often experienced in welding and other similar applications. Other significant improvements offered by the SWQ SWQ Swieqi (postal locality, Malta)
SWQ Sumbawa Island, Indonesia - Brang Bidji (Airport Code) 
 products include a lower laser threshold (up to 25% lower) and a 15% increase in operating efficiency, relative to conventional laser diodes.

Among the products to be featured at the OSRAM Opto Semiconductors booth:

High Power Laser Bar in a New OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  Package (SPL (1) (Systems Programming Language) The assembly language for the HP 3000 series. See assembly language for an SPL program example.

(2) (Structured Programming Language) See structured programming.

 LG81)

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' new high power diode laser array is robust in design and well suited for a host of industrial, military and medical applications. The laser bar is a sealed in an OEM package with fast-axis collimation collimation /col·li·ma·tion/ (kol?i-ma´shun)

2.
, and is designed for both CW and pulsed operation.

The SPL LG81 is designed with the OEM in mind and includes features, such as Optimized Stable Mounting Technology, which allows for greater production efficiencies and reproducibility in a production environment. Another unique feature is a semi-external micro-channel cooler, which allows for higher output powers of up to 30 W and can be operated at temperatures ranging from +10 degrees C to +30 degrees C. Moreover, the aspherical a·spher·ic   also a·spher·i·cal

New Red Laser Diodes (SPL CG65)

With an optical output of 0.5 W and a wavelength of 650 nm, the SPL CG65 Red Laser Diode is OSRAM's first product released into the visible high power laser diode market. Produced in the new InGaAIP material system (Indium-Gallium-Aluminum-Phosphide), these laser diodes are ideal for an increasing number of medical applications, including photodynamic therapy photodynamic therapy
