service and support. We thank SMT China and EM Asia for these awards.”
Oclaro worked closely with Pantec to deliver a customized quasi continuous wave (QCW) sub- assembly laser diode solution that delivered the performance and reliability needed, at a price point that will enable wide-spread adoption in the consumer space. Pantec’s first Oclaro- based product, which is called the P.L.E.A.S.E.® Professional, is a tabletop system that will be used for both transdermal delivery and tissue ablation. This device will initially be sold in Europe with plans to bring the product into selected markets worldwide, starting in 2011.
Both awards were presented at ceremonies during NEPCON China, Shanghai, May 2011
Pantec Biosolutions Selects Oclaro Laser Diode Bars
Oclaro High-Performance Laser Diode Bars Deliver the Performance and Reliability Needed for Pantec’s Revolutionary P.L.E.A.S.E. ® Laser Platform
Oclaro, Inc., a tier-one provider of optical communications and laser solutions, have announced that its 9xx nm high-power laser diode bars have been selected by Pantec Biosolutions, provider of epidermal medical applications, for use in its next generation P.L.E.A.S.E.® (Precise Laser Epidermal System) platform. This cutting-edge new laser platform represents a new era in biomedical applications by enabling an easy, painless and needle-free delivery method for drugs, as well as safe tissue ablation for skin rejuvenation.
According to Pantec, the global aesthetic market, which includes tissue ablation, is expected to grow from a $4.4 billion market in 2010 to a $7.5 billion market in 2015; while the market for transdermal drug delivery is growing rapidly and is expected to be a multi-billion dollar market by 2015. Designed for medical professionals and consumers, these new devices offer a pain-free delivery method for a variety of medical applications, such as in-vitro fertilization, vaccinations and wrinkle removal.
“This win with Pantec is yet another example of how lasers have reached the price/performance targets that enable them to be widely used in the high-volume consumer space,” said Gunnar Stolze, Worldwide Sales Director of Industrial and Consumer Lasers at Oclaro. “The combination of Pantec’s P.L.E.A.S.E. platform technology with Oclaro’s highly-efficient, high-volume manufacturing capabilities can deliver innovation to the consumer that revolutionizes modern day medical and cosmetic procedures such as drug delivery and tissue ablation.”
“We partnered with Oclaro because it delivered the technology and reliable manufacturing excellence we needed, and also worked closely with us to design the best solution for our next generation P.L.E.A.S.E.® products,” said Thomas Bragagna, CTO at Pantec Biosolutions. “As this market continues to expand, we are confident that only a world-class supplier such as Oclaro will enable us to establish a clear leadership position in a space that is poised for explosive growth in the future.”
About Oclaro Laser Diode Bars
Oclaro developed a conductively cooled 9xx nm laser diode bar primarily designed for QCW pumping of miniaturized solid state lasers, which is what Pantec required for its P.L.E.A.S.E platform. Oclaro’s QCW operation enabled Pantec to develop a compact laser device due to its low cooling requirements, small footprint and extremely high pulse power.
Oclaro laser diode bars feature a highly efficient two sided cooling setup of the 10x12x5mm(3) small footprint diode assembly, which allows for output peak power levels as high as 320W at 300A drive current, 5ms pulse duration and 10% duty cycle.
