From a business that started five years ago in a dark empty warehouse with only a plan and plenty of enthusiasm we are now a respected manufacturer and innovator of high power pulsed laser diodes serving a wide range of global applications. From the beginning our vision has been to build a strong manufacturing group that is responsive to the needs of the industry.
The result of this strategy has been a steady stream of new product launches starting with our 905 nm single stripe lasers to multi-chip stacks and then to multijunction devices, all in hermetic packages. At this wavelength, more than fifty combinations of package style and chip configuration are available usually within a four week lead time. Early in our development we also established a 1550 nm pulsed laser product, which has become a benchmark for high power and reliability. Double and triple junction pulsed lasers have recently become available offering up to three times the power of conventional single stripe devices. For high volume applications these will be offered in hermetic packages with a range of stripe widths and competitive pricing. Custom products are the mainstream of our business; adapting to the customers needs from a select test to a special wavelength or packaging solution.
The customers are global and as varied as the applications. Lasers are supplied for traffic sensing, speed detection, range finders for golfers to high end military products, weapons training and systems, medical therapy, industrial light curtains, robotics and for measuring the height of clouds in airports. Increasingly pulse laser diodes are being employed in automotive applications such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot warning.
