Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL)

Category: Robotics > Other > Sensor
Reference # : Model No :

From both offices in Canada and Taiwan (R.O.C.) Allied Scientific Pro offers high quality and cost effective VCSEL products and large production capacity: Following wavelengths are available single and multimode: - 665nm (655 to 675nm). - 850nm (830 to 860nm).

Benefits

- The structure can be integrated in two-dimensional array configuration. - Low threshold currents enable high-density arrays. - Surface-normal emission and nearly identical to the photo detector geometry give easy alignment and packaging. - Circular and low divergence output beams eliminate the need for corrective optics. - Passive versus active fiber alignment, combined with high fiber-coupling efficiency. - Low-cost potential because the devices are completed and tested at the wafer level. - Lower temperature-sensitivity compared to edge-emitting laser diodes. - High transmission speed with low power consumption.
