PRODUCTIONLASER COMPONENTS is unique!

Why is that? Although we all put our pants on one leg at a time, we have one basic advantage over our competitors: LASER COMPONENTS is both manufacturer and distributor, knowing the business from both sides. We offer competent advice as technological leader, we know the needs of our customers, and we can estimate the feasibility of new pro-ducts. We are particularly successful due to the collaboration between each of the different production facilities: In just one year, five depart-ments worked together to make the COUNT photon counters marketa-ble; and just another year later, the products were being integrated by international customers!

We turn your vision into products!

OEM products are our life. We have our standard portfolio, but we stand out due to our production of customized products. We offer new developments for our own in-house products but also for the product lines of our suppliers. We manufacture both single items and complete series according to customer specifications. The best part is: From development to series production, with us everything comes from one source.

Let’s talk about it.

Our experienced personnel is available to assist you during development of a product. You correspond with a single contact person, which saves you time.

We look forward to working together with you!

ASFPHOTODIODESProduction The Company

In Tempe, Arizona, LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group manufactures semiconductor detectors. Initially, LASER COMPONENTS concentrated on the development and production of high-performance silicon and InGaAs avalanche photodiodes for the detection of the smallest amount of light. The product range has meanwhile been radically expanded to include the assembly of receivers and the development of a broad range of IR detectors.

Sophisticated Products according to Customer Specifications The Detector Group is a specialist for orders with individual configura-tions.

Their product range extends from low-cost APDs for commercial appli-cations to high-end components used in military applications. The heart of our photon counting modules originated from this facility: it‘s the VLoK series of APDs used in the detection of the smallest amount of light. Com-plete receivers are also produced by the Detector Group. They feature high sensitivity and have a wide wavelength range and large frequency width.

Extended Production Options with the Help of Comprehensive Equipment We rely on the latest technologies in the production of avalanche photo-diodes to implement complicated designs. We have access to university facilities: This allows us the flexibility to expand our capacity on short notice and thus guarantee short delivery times.

Page 13: Présentation Laser Components

www.lasercomponents.com/de-en/photodiodes/

Avalanche Photodiodes

From UV to IR Avalanche photodiodes are manu-factured from different semiconductor materials. Depending on the spectral sensitivity, silicon or InGaAs is used.

Silicon avalanche photodiodes detect radiation in the range from 255 nm to 1100 nm. Different versions are optimized for each of their own wave-length ranges; thus, there are series available for the UV range, the visible range, and the NIR.

For detection in the infrared spectral range, InGaAs is used. The products have three features: an extremely high damage threshold, a very low capa-citance, and a low dark current.

Detectors for Photon Counting Avalanche photodiodes are also used in single photon counting. Silicon detectors are particularly suitable due to their high efficiency and low dark count rate.

Receivers for Immediate Application APD receivers come equipped with an integrated preamplifier – for opti-mal performance!

PHOTON COUNTER Production

Photon Counters from One Source Motivated by numerous customer requests, LASER COMPONENTS GmbH ventured the development of photon counters in house in 2010, relying on the know-how of affiliated production facilities in the individual disciplines, avalanche photodiodes and electronics. The exclusive broad-band coating of the integrated optics as well as the optical fiber is also manufactured by LASER COMPONENTS.

From quality components to the complete system, everything comes from one source. This is the secret of LASER COMPONENTS’ success with its COUNT® modules.

You Profit from Manufacturing Options At the semi-automatic measuring station, quantum efficiency, dark count rates, dead time, and after-pulsing can be measured – with or without fiber coupling. We simulate different scenarios, testing efficiency in your application field. Inquire with us!

Page 17: Présentation Laser Components

www.lasercomponents.com/de-en/photon-counter/

COUNT® Modules

Extraordinary Products in Excellent Quality. Photon counters are mainly used in the measurement of photons. One of the most important measurement pa-rameters in terms of product quality is quantum efficiency at specific wave-lengths. We dominate the field with a detection efficiency of up to 90% in the red wavelength range and 70% in the blue wavelength range.

Photon Counters for Different Wavelengths Depending on the application, diffe-rent COUNT® modules are available. The Si SPAD COUNT® module is op-timized for wavelengths in the range from 500 nm to 700 nm. For shorter wavelengths, the COUNT® blue is available, which also features high detection efficiency in the blue-green spectral range. The COUNT® NIR module delivers the best performance in the near infrared range.

Optimizations in additional wave-length ranges are currently in develop-ment.

Fiber Connection All COUNT® modules are also availa-ble with a fiber connection on an optional basis. This serves as a pro-tective barrier from outside influences.

Customer Requests Bring about New Products Innovation never stops. Customer de-mands increase and we respond as quickly as possible with new models and product variations. This includes, for example, photon counters for quantum cryptography.

PULSEDLASER DIODESProduction

Custom Solutions – Cost-effective, Even when Produced in Small Amounts Close cooperation between the customer and the manufacturer has been our greatest success factor in manufacturing optimally customized pro-ducts. Our customers are often pleasantly surprised by how reasonable our prices are for customized products.

LASER COMPONENTS Canada develops your pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) suited to your field of application. Almost all product parameters can be adjusted (e.g., wavelength, output power, and housing). It is also possible to develop completely new products.

Uncompromising Quality. Quality is an absolute imperative. The consistent application of quality management methods has resulted in the continuous advancement of pro-ducts. New products and increasing efficiency are in constant demand.

As part of quality control, a life test rack was developed to simulate very different applications. The pulsed laser diodes being tested on the life rack are pushed beyond their approved limitations.

Page 21: Présentation Laser Components

Pulsed Laser Diodes

Different Wavelengths – High-quality Housing The standard range consists of pulsed laser diodes with the following wavelengths: 850 nm, 905 nm, or 1550 nm. We differentiate between two product lines: high-end PLDs and low-cost PLDs. Both product lines have a high-quality metal housing in common.

Low-cost Series The so-called high-volume/low-cost series consists of pulsed laser diodes in a metal housing that are best suited for consumer products such as laser rangefinders.

Numerous Product Variations Different types, single emitters, and stacks are available. In addition to numerous housing varieties, we pri-marily manufacture customer-specific components. Fast axis collimation (FAC) lenses can be integrated, cooled versions designed, and fiber couplings applied. We now also manufacture pulsed laser diodes with two wavelengths.

Laser modules come in many varieties; different customers rarely order the same module. You determine the following parameters:

▪ Wavelength ▪ Power ▪ Beam profile ▪ Housing ▪ Connection ▪ Modulation ▪ Operating voltage

Manufacturer: Laser Components GmbH GermanyProduction started: 2009ISO 9001 certified

Page 24: Présentation Laser Components

FLEXPOINT® LASER MODULESProduction

Development of Laser Modules Two laser modules are rarely alike. Our strength lies in our ability to offer customer-specific FLEXPOINT® modules. Whether single pieces are required or series production, we develop and manufacture your modules in Germany – from electronics and optics to the complete laser module. Place your trust in the FLEXPOINT® brand.

The Most Modern Technologies for Customized Developments Our FLEXPOINT® laser modules are developed with computer assistance: Using CAD, we determine the shape of the housing. Integrated lens com-binations are responsible for the beam quality of the laser modules. We simulate the beam using optics design software. To ensure the driver of the laser diode works hassle free, it is also developed on the computer.

Quality Assurance To assure quality, the laser modules are tested at different optical measu-ring stations. All kinds of parameters are tested: optical power, beam profiles, and beam angle error as well as electrical parameters, such as power consumption, and voltage.

Laser Modules

FLEXPOINT® Laser Modules The FLEXPOINT® laser modules are developed and manufactured directly at LASER COMPONENTS and Blau Optoelektronik GmbH, a subsidiary of the LASER COMPONENTS group.

Laser Modules for Specific Requirements FLEXPOINT® laser modules with spe-cial housings, specific wavelengths, output power, or an extraordinary beam profile, can also be implemen-ted in small series. Many standard components can be combined in an individual model. It is also possible to manufacture customized prototypes on short notice.

MV Series – Laser Modules for Industrial Image Processing In industrial image processing special demands are placed on laser modu-les. Line lasers with a homogeneous power distribution along the line are often used. High-power models and special housings are sometimes requi-red for machine vision applications as well.

Precision Laser Modules Precision laser modules are modules in which the beam axis and the housing axis are aligned. In their miniaturized form, they are used as OEM precision laser modules in laser light barriers. Larger, mechanically ro-bust housings are used for alignment purposes in machine engineering.

OPTICAL FIBERSAssemblies &Coatings

Product Range We assemble the widest variety of optical fibers – from bare fibers, cladded fibers, to fibers with a protective jacket – all of which can be equipped with all common connectors. It goes without saying that we also assemble customer-specific connectors with the desired fiber.

Machinery and Quality Control We modernize our facilities regularly. Computer-operated cutting and polishing machines work with precision and reproducibly. This is how we achieve the high quality of our fiber assemblies.

To keep our customers satisfied with our products, we introduced an advanced outgoing goods inspection. With the help of a digital micro-scope, 3D measurements, centricity measurements, and surface analyses can be performed. We like to ensure that you receive a fiber that has been perfectly assembled and achieves the best results in centricity and laser polishing.

Products

Standard Cables Customer-specific fiber assemblies are available for conventional applica-tions. Multi-mode cables, single-mode cables, and POF cables are availa-ble with all common connectors. We also manufacture reference cables with precise reference connectors for measurement tasks.

Fiber Bundles Several optical fibers are combined in fiber bundles which are used in illumi-nation tasks and sensor applications. You determine the number of fibers to be bundled and the geometric dimensions of the ferrules.

Coated Fiber Tips One particular highlight is our optical coatings on fibers. The AR coating in-creases the efficiency of the coupled light beam enormously. AR coatings are available for different wavelength ranges.

Specialty Solutions If you require sterilized fibers for medi-cal applications or free-standing SMA connectors for the transmission of high optical power, we are the right partner for you. You benefit from short delivery times and a high flexibility in custom solutions.

OPTICALCOATINGS

Manufacturer: Laser Components GmbHCountry: GermanyProduction started: 1986ISO 9001 certified

Coatings for traditional wavelengths on conventional substrates are often descri-bed as standard compo-nents; however, none of the products is run of the mill. We design individualized

products surprisingly inexpensively. Some of the parameters to be selected freely include the fol-lowing: substrate, wavelength, and transmission/reflection properties.

Page 32: Présentation Laser Components

OPTICAL COATINGSProduction

The manufacture of custom laser optics is our specialty. Depending on the specifications, we use different coatings methods.

PVD Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a classic method. The coatings pro-duced using this method feature very high damage thresholds across the entire wavelength range – from 193 nm to 5 µm. We can process optics with a standard diameter of up to 200 mm. Our PVD coaters, which are equipped with an electron beam source of evaporation, are particularly flexible. This makes it possible to manufacture products inexpensively according to customer specifications, even in small quantities.

Coater with IAD Source for Complex Coatings An IAD coater is used for low-drift coatings as well as for laser optics used at wavelengths close to the water absorption line. This type of coater is particularly suitable for complex coatings involving multiple wavelengths. Through an integrated online monitoring system, these IAD coatings exhibit the highest spectral precision and quality.

Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) – The Specialty Coater Our IBS coater is equipped with a filament-free ion source; it sputters mo-lecules off a target that produce structures of dense layers on the surface of the substrate.

The integrated online monitoring and zone targeting allow for any type of complex coating structures. This makes it possible to achieve two things: the highest reflection and transmission values produced in house and particularly steep edges.

Page 33: Présentation Laser Components

www.lasercomponents.com/de-en/laser-optics/

Our Specialties

We manufacture mirrors, output coup-lers, beam splitters, dichroic coatings, polarizers, and antireflective coatings as standard components or according to customer specifications – all for applications with lasers that have the highest energy and power densities.

Beam Splitters Beam splitters are necessary to split a laser beam into two parts. Polari-zation-independent components are required for the degree of separation to remain constant when the direction of polarization changes.

Thin-film Polarizers Different polarizers are used to separate the direction of polarization. Are you familiar with 45° polarizers, adjust-ment-free polarizers, and broadband polarizers? We will be happy to explain the differences and manufacture the appropriate compo-nent for your needs.

Mirrors Mirrors are the highlight of our production range. They include the following: multiple-wavelength mirrors used in the reflection of more than one wavelength and dichroic mirrors used to combine or separate two or more wavelengths.

Gaussian Mirrors To produce a particularly high quality laser beam with low divergence and high beam quality at high pulse energies, we manufacture Gaussian mirrors – as the only manufacturer in Germany!

We manufacture customer-specific plano substrates and spheri-cal lenses in Germany – from small series to large series, with diameters between 10 mm and 55 mm.

Page 36: Présentation Laser Components

OPTICALSUBSTRATESProduction In order for us to offer quick service, we manufacture laser optics substra-

tes directly in Germany – from single items to small series. You determine the material used in your laser optics: Different fused silica glasses are recommended for high laser power, and the inexpensive NBK-7 is recom-mended for low power.

From Raw Material to High-quality Optics Our laser optics substrates are cut at the required thickness from rods using a glass saw. This allows us particular flexibility.

Grinding and Polishing – Take Advantage of our Many Options We shape your optics using several grinding and polishing machines. We produce flat surfaces using a lever machine. The most modern CNC machines are used to shape spherical surfaces. A surface figure of l/10 is usually achieved after polishing.

Highest Quality – The Finish with the “Rolls Royce” of the Industry The quality of the substrates is measured after fine grinding and polishing using an interferometer from the company Zygo; the measurement data is transferred directly to a computer. This technology provides precise in-formation about where the substrate requires refinishing. This information is transferred to the QED for refinishing. The QED is a polishing machine of the highest quality that makes the smallest corrections to the surface figure.

Page 37: Présentation Laser Components

www.lasercomponents.com/de-en/substrates/

Manufacturing Options

Everything from One Source All of our optical components are also available from one source. We manu-facture the substrate and coatings in two to three weeks. If an order is time sensitive, we can significantly reduce our delivery times, provided that the required tools are available.

Materials We use Suprasil® 3002 and 3001 to ensure that the focus remains constant, even at high cw laser power levels. Infrasil® 302 and 301 are tested and proven in applica-tions near water absorption. For short UV wavelengths, however, we recommend selected fused silica. In addition to high-end glasses, we also have standard fused silica and BK 7 available.

Plano Substrates Flat is not always flat. We guarantee precise parallelism. Thus, exchanging one plano substrate with another in a system is possible without the need for readjustment.

Spherical Optics We manufacture spherical lenses and curved mirror substrates. With these lenses and substrates, we lay the foundation for our coated laser optics that can withstand the highest levels of laser power. We have everything under our control – and the entire chain of production in house.

ELECTRONICSDevelopment &Production

In-house Product Developments We pay close attention to the requests made by our customers. Many developments were made in accordance with concrete customer speci-fications; in fact, this has led to the development of different drivers for diodes.

Prototype Design Thanks to extensive laboratory equipment, developments can be made very quickly. Prototypes can be built in a matter of days. With the help of software, our R&D team initially designed a printed circuit board to be manufactured using a computer-controlled circuit board milling machine followed by the manual assembly of the prototype.

Quality Assurance and Series Production Each prototype is subjected to comprehensive testing and measurements at our measurement stations. If it meets all the criteria, the prototype is approved for series production.

Page 41: Présentation Laser Components

Products

High Voltage Modules These inexpensive block modules produce voltages of up to 1000 V. They are required for the operation of photodiodes, avalanche photodio-des, and photomultipliers. Depending on the version, they are controlled analogously or digitally via an integ-rated µ controller.

APD Modules APD modules detect the smallest amount of light very quickly and relia-bly. The heart of our APD modules is a low-noise Si or InGaAs avalanche photodiode that is equipped with a preamplifier and an integrated high voltage supply. In addition, a temperature compensation circuit is integrated into the modules, making highly-reliable operation at a constant amplification across a wide tempera-ture range possible.

PLD Modules Both a pulsed laser diode and a driver are integrated into a single housing in PLD modules. To operate the modules, you only require a trigger signal.

Two versions are available: 905 nm and 1550 nm. Both are powerful; in fact, they produce a peak power of more than 200 W.

Although these modules are no larger than a matchbox, they can be con-trolled flexibly. They are particularly well suited for R&D applications; thus, you are free to vary your work and testing.

Current Amplifiers The programmable current amplifier, iAMP-700, is designed for use in the frequency range of up to 720 kHz. The amplification can be set between 102 and 1011 V/A.

Thus, the iAMP-700 is optimally suited for applications which require conversion from low currents to usable output voltages.

CUBEs

The CUBE housings are designed for integration into optomechanical assemblies. Detectors - depending on the version, PIN diodes or even APDs - are housed in the CUBEs. Due to its easy control (e.g., using the iAMP), the CUBEs are ideally suited for OEM assemblies.
