01/26/09: eagleyard contributes to OPTO - Part of SPIE Photonics West 2009

Please watch eagleyard's contribution to the SPIE OPTO Conference which was held 24-29 January 2009 in San Jose, United States. Dr. Joerg Wiedmann will discuss a "Green light source by single-pass second harmonic generation with laser and crystal in a tilted butt joint setup."

Conference: #7212
Paper Number: #7212-10

In this work a compact green laser light source is presented based on a single-pass second harmonic generation (SHG) in non-linear material. The green light source consists of a distributed feedback (DFB) laser with a monolithically integrated power amplifier (PA) and a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal with a ridge waveguide. To achieve the smallest size and to reduce the number of parts to be assembled, a direct coupling approach is implemented without using any lens.

03/17/08: eagleyard demonstrates 20mW green laser for mobile projection applications

eagleyard Photonics, a leading supplier of high-power laser diodes, will present a directly modulated green laser source at the Laser Optics Berlin this week. With an optical output power in excess of 20mW this source is best suited for mobile projection applications.

The world-class result was achieved in close cooperation with companies and institutes all based in Berlin. The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) developed the special semiconductor laser chip, the Fraunhofer Institut für Zuverlässigkeit und Mikrointegration (IZM) was responsible for the assembly of the demonstrator module and Luceo Technologies GmbH developed a dedicated laser driver to supply modulated high currents to the laser diode. The project was initiated by eagleyard Photonics GmbH, a company experienced in turning technology into mature products, who had noted the demand by its world-wide customer base for exactly this type of laser source. The green laser is one key component for projection displays in mobile phones, PDAs and game consoles.

According to Michael Kneier, VP Sales and Marketing at eagleyard, “While blue and red lasers are commercially available for laser-based mobile projection engines, a green source still has some way to go. As a result of our close cooperation with the partners, we can now demonstrate world-class prototypes that bring us close to a viable product.”

02/15/08: DFB Lasers for Oxygen Detection

eagleyard’s new DFB lasers track down oxygen by the characteristic ‘fingerprint’ of the O2 absorption spectrum. Present or absent, these laser diodes provide a reliable O2 reading.

eagleyard expands its product portfolio by 760 nm and 763 nm Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers in butterfly package. These new lasers with extremely narrow line width are able to sense even residual amounts of oxygen. The mode-hop free emission garantuees a very precise gas analysis by means of absorption spectroscopy. The high output power of the lasers allows fast and reliable remote sensing even under difficult conditions.

These lasers are designed for sophisticated applications in medical, pharmaceutical and chemical industry.

03/12/07: CDL laser family now with increased output power

See the specifications reflecting the enhanced performance of our CDL (=collimating double lens) laser diode family. Laser diodes at wavelengths of 808, 940, 980 and 1064 nm of output level up to 10 Watt enable even battery powered system operation. Find the CDL Broad Area Laser for your application at our Product specification page or see a typical example.
