CIE Components in Electronics
Laser diodes for life science and industrial applications (including high power systems).
Whether you’re looking for a component, a module or a complete system; at whatever wavelength, output power or configuration, you should contact AP Technologies to discuss your requirements.
Laser Diodes – whatever your wavelength, output or configuration requirements
As the number of applications for laser diodes continues to grow, customer needs have diversified. Whether you’re looking for a component, a module or a complete system, at whatever wavelength, output power or configuration, you should contact AP Technologies to discuss your requirements.
Working with four leading manufacturers in Germany, Italy, Japan and the USA, we are uniquely placed to fulfil your requirements. Whether you require laser diodes for OEM integration or for laboratory use, we will find a best-fit technical solution.
High-performance semiconductor lasers diodes are used for a broad range of life sciences applications such as fluorescence and flow cytometry; or industrial, including sensing, computer-to-plate, lidar, seed laser for high power systems, silicon photonics, particle counting, micromachining.
Depending on the application and wavelength, we can offer:
- Continuous wave, direct -modulation or picosecond-pulse gain-switched
- Heatsink-free performance at extreme temperatures
- Open-heatsink or hermetic package
- Fibre-coupled or free-space
- Arrays and multi diode stacks
Our laser diode range comprises:
We offer a range of free space and fibre-coupled laser diode modules and systems for applications such as illumination; marking; welding/soldering; heat treatment and thermal activation; hair removal; surgical and dental, computer-to-plate and many more.
- Fast modulation of ultra high-power fiber-coupled laser diodes
- Visible and Infrared wavelengths
- Products can be built into a packaged assembly, or with driver electronics into a complete turnkey subsystem.
Multimode laser diodes feature broad area emitters giving high optical power and a relatively wide spectrum. Suitable applications include direct material processing, marking, welding, Raman spectroscopy, dental and medical. Our product range are available as both single emitters or diode arrays and come in either free space or fibre-coupled configurations:
- The broadest wavelength range of any laser diode manufacturer, from 445-1850nm
- Open heatsink chip on submount versions
- Wide choice of hermetic window and fibre-coupled packages
- Thermoelectric cooler and monitor Photodiode options
- Fast axis collimator/beam circularisation optics
- Multiwavelength fibre-coupled modules available
Singlemode lasers offer superior beam quality at comparatively lower power than multimode lasers. They are ideal for high-speed applications as well as those requiring narrow spectral width and low divergence. With such high performance, singlemode lasers are ideal for many applications, such as fibre-laser pumping, microscopy, spectroscopy, and precision metrology.
- 532nm, 561nm and 594nm high performance DFB-SOA lasers
- 640-940nm high power Fabry-Perot lasers
- 1020nm-1310nm Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers
- CW, direct modulation and picosecond pulse gain-switched operation
- Our Quantum Dot technology can be operated without cooling at up to 200°C
