U-L-M Photonics GmbH is a leading supplier of advanced Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) These devices are available from 760 to 980 nm and are used in many telecom and sensing applications. Low cost single-mode devices are now in high volume production. Microsoft has delivered over 2.5 million of the high definition Laser Mouse 6000 and has again chosen U-L-M Photonics to be the supplier for their next generation product. The excellent performance of the VCSEL, including lower power consumption and ideal beam shape perfectly match the highlights of the wireless laser mouse: longer battery life, greater precision, improved responsiveness and smoother tracking.
