feedback in the system, ensuring constant optical power output from the laser diode. It is temperature rated from -10 to +600 C, allowing for operation in harsh environments. With low operating current and voltage of 175mA and 2.5V, respectively, the HL65051DG is easy to integrate into a range of systems.
Opnext offers laser diodes, ranging from 404nm to 852nm.
David McGuinness, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Sales Director, commented, “as an Opnext distributor and laser module manufacturer, we’re delighted Opnext has developed this device. The ability to achieve high optical power with a stable output will allow us to address our customers increasingly demanding applications such as low- level laser therapy and 3-D imaging.”
“ProPhotonix is a key partner in selling and supporting Opnext laser diodes into strategic accounts,” said Wolf-Rudiger Gaepel, Opnext EMEA account manager. “This newest red laser diode opens up multiple opportunities across a range of applications.”
Laser manufacturer opens sales offices in Germany
The global developer and manufacturer of industrial lasers is expanding its business
JK Lasers’ new sales offices, based in Munich and close to Hamburg, complement the firm’s existing support network.
Providing specialist advice and technical support at a local level, the strategic location of these premises will help JK Lasers serve other German- speaking countries.
Mark Greenwood, General Manager for JK Lasers, said, “JK Lasers plans to expand in Germany because it represents an important market for us. The country accounts for a large percentage of the worldwide photonics trade and is home to leading manufacturers who could benefit from our products and services.”
JK Lasers, which is part of the GSI Group, offers
a high performance range of Watt to kiloWatt fibre lasers, Nd:YAG lasers and process tools, which are designed to operate 24/7.
A new range of powerful kiloWatt class fibre lasers will be added to the company’s portfolio later this year. Easy to use, with next to no maintenance or set up times, JK Fiber Lasers says it can simplify the most demanding welding, cutting and drilling requirements.
Photonics pioneer James J. Coleman honoured by NAE
He has been elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering. He oversees research using MOCVD of III-V semiconductors to explore applications in lasers, quantum dots and other optical structures
Professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois, Coleman, is also the Intel Alumni Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
He is among 66 new members and 10 foreign associates credited by the NAE.
Election to the NAE is one of the highest professional honours an engineer can garner. The 2,254 members and 206 foreign associates are an elite group distinguished by their outstanding contributions to the fields of technology and engineering.
