LENSES AND OPTICS
Flexible Wavelength Selector Spectrolight has upgraded its Flexible Wavelength Selector spectral range to 255–1,650nm. This spectral range can cover from the UV to the NIR with ± 0.5nm accuracy (nominal). The firm has also announced the latest FWS model that specifically targets the supercontinuum laser range (385-1,015nm). This new model covers the spectral range of most supercontinuum lasers in the market, allowing simple software control via USB connection. Spectrolight has also updated its software to provide a user-friendly interface. The Flexible Wavelength Selector is a compact optomechanical device that uses Spectrolight’s patented TwinFilm technology
New IAD and IBS coating systems Laser Components continues to expand its optics production with two new coating systems. The ion beam sputtering (IBS) system delivered last year is now fully operational and has started production. An additional ion-assisted deposition (IAD)
system has been ordered for the end of 2022. The manufacturer can now also produce highly complex dielectric layer designs in quantities of several thousand without neglecting the production of small batches and prototypes. This offers customers not only more flexibility through shorter delivery times but also more favourable unit prices. For decades, Laser Components has consistently invested in the modern IBS and
IAD processes, which can be used to produce compact layers in a controlled manner. This is a basic requirement for highly reflective mirrors, vacuum optics, complex dichroic mirrors, beam splitters with low tolerances, and thin-film polarisers with additional optical functions.

Desktop R2P NanoImprinter Stensborg has launched the Desktop R2P NanoImprinter. The new version of the roller-based prototyping tool provides customers with an improved optical engine, greater ability to explore new UV-curing resins, and better control of the imprinting process. These improvements enable users to have a better experience of fast prototyping and testing for NIL process development. The machine’s uniqueness is further supported by two granted patents for the nip imprinting method and the optical curing engine within the tool. To date, Stensborg has sold compact Roll-
to-Plate (R2P) imprinting machines across three continents, totalling sales across 15 countries. The clients range from academic institutions and government laboratories to the private sector in a host of different industries. Like its predecessor, the Desktop R2P NanoImprinter is ideal for prototyping, small-scale imprinting and fast process development for micro/nanostructure based devices.

LASERS AND DIODES
VCSEL array portfolio with multi-junction feature
Trumpf Photonic Components supports the request for miniaturisation in consumer electronics and automotive by expanding its VCSEL array portfolio with the multi-junction feature. With tunnel functions, the performance of a single VCSEL is increased, as multiple active zones are put into series in the same VCSEL component. Up to three times the output can be generated out of the same VCSEL device. Most illumination applications benefit from higher efficiency and increase in output power with the same VCSEL light source. The multi-junction technology supports

applications such as lidar, as this application in the automotive branch requires high-output power within limited space for the short and long-range identification of objects. The VCSEL technology will remain a main light source for applications in smartphones, consumer electronics and automotive applications, as they are highly efficient and boast a long service life. Trumpf offers options with highly integrated optical structures for the best fit. Therefore VCSELs can offer polarisation control for improved illumination quality, or integrated photodiodes to enable the further processing of light signals.
