Laser Product Highlights 2001 p3:

• Ophir introduces beam analyzer for pulsed Nd:YAG and diode lasers
  The system measures average power, energy per pulse and frequency, spatial beam profile, and temporal pulse shape. The measurement parameters can be recorded in digital form for storage and analysis. Laser average powers up to 1000 W, pulsed energies up to 100 J, and beam diameters up to 30 mm can be handled by the system.
• Industrial Microphotonics offers replacement diode arrays
  Industrial Microphotonics Company (St. Charles, MO), a division of Cutting Edge Optronics, Inc., now offers replacement diode arrays that are compatible with models discontinued by other manufacturers.
• Inspection system includes Meiji microscope and annular light guide
  The TKMZ-A inspection package from O.C. White (Three Rivers, MA) features a Meiji EMZ-5, ESD-safe all-metal microscope. Also included is a Micro-Lite FL-3000 fiberoptic light source that incorporates a solid-state design with 45% more cool, white light than ordinary hot-running fiberoptic systems.
• OmniVision announces new CIF and VGA CMOS image sensors
  OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA), has introduced four new image sensors designed for mobile applications such as cell phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other handheld electronic devices. The new CIF (352 x 288) and VGA (640 x 480) products are the latest in a series of new sensors designed for applications requiring small size and low power consumption, two of the most critical features for handheld, battery operated electronic devices
• Melles Griot deep-blue DPSS laser to compete with HeCd Systems
  The 58 BTL diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers, which operate at 430 nm with a single longitudinal mode, produce low-noise, single-frequency output with less than two percent peak-to-peak noise.
• Oki Semiconductor pump laser modules extend range of fiberoptic systems
  Oki Semiconductor (Sunnyvale, CA) has released two new high-power 1480-nm pump laser diode modules for the next generation of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). By deploying the new modules throughout their long-haul DWDM-based fiberoptic networks, customers can increase the distance between each EDFA.
• Veeco introduces OEM optical metrology module
  The system offers accurate in-situ production metrology for fiberoptic and other manufacturing applications.
• Sumitomo Electric , Korea's OPHIT to develop fiber DVI sytem for large-screen presentations
  The optical digital visual interface system reportedly connects computers to large digital display screens at higher speeds and lower costs than standard DVI systems.
• Marktech web site features 2000 optoelectronics products
  The site includes the exclusive list of Toshiba's high-performance LEDs and Constant Current LED drivers sold in the United States.
• Matchbox-size tunable-laser architecture promises low cost, higher channel density
  SRI International, a research Institute based in Silicon Valley, has developed an architecture that reportedly allows tunable laser technology to be deployed in fiberoptic networks at one-tenth of the physical size and cost of conventional technologies.
