Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) Array Technology

High power VCSEL arrays producing over 750 mW of continuous wave output power in standard TO-46 or TO-39 packages. TO package is ideal for laser illumination applications, producing unmatched low speckle and uniform illumination quality. Custom wavelengths and powers are also available

Features:CWV-TO-P750M-W860-ND: 860nm VCSEL Diode.

  • Microlensed arrays available for higher brightness and narrower divergences
  • Improved eye-safety from VCSELs over conventional laser diodes
  • Very low speckle illumination quality
  • Circular beam for easy coupling
  • High reliability

 

VPOWR

A high-performance short-pulse laser source capable of over 50W peak powers in 10-50 nanosecond pulses. The VPOWR uses FLIR’s proprietary Vertical-Cavity, Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL)technology, which offers high peak powers and high-brightness in a circular output beam for unmatched performance for the time of flight ranging,  3D sensing, LIDAR, and gesture recognition applications. The plug and play board of this 50W short-pulse laser only requires supply power and trigger signal for operation. Custom formats and solutions are available on this 940nm laser diode, as well as a chip on carrier or bare VCSEL die for customer integration. If this laser is not meeting your exact specifications, view our VCSEL laser diode collection and see our new Lasers 101 page for in depth information on Lasers..
