Circular
beam with diffraction-limited performance
and low divergence in a standard package
Blue
Sky Research's VPSLaser™ laser diode sources
integrate the Company's patented µLens™ technology
with a standard laser diode to generate a high power,
low-divergence, circular, diffraction-limited beam. The
µLens™ is mounted directly in front of the diode's
emitting edge, capturing nearly 100% of the diode's
power, circularizing the beam and correcting any
aberrations, all in a single step. Because of these
unique beam qualities, VPSLasers have demonstrated,
for example, over 80% coupling efficiency in the visible
range, into a single-mode fiber optic — up to twice
that achieved by multi-macro-optics with standard laser
diodes
The
design complexity
of customer systems
is reduced in
most applications
by replacing multi-optical-element
diode systems
with a VPSLaser
and typically
a single correcting
lens. In fact,
for many applications,
no additional
correcting optics
is required at
all. The VPSLaser
can reduce cost,
as well as deliver
more usable power.
VPSlasers are
packaged exactly
the same as a
standard laser
diode. The µLens™
is only apparent
by the way it
transforms and
corrects the beam
output. VPSLasers
are available
in standard 5.6mm
and 9mm TO packages,
allowing for direct
use in a wide
variety of applications.
