An Intense product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Mar 3, 2010

Intense has released two ultra-high-brightness versions of the Power Core 808, a line of 808nm multi-mode laser engine chips that are easily customised to a variety of optics applications.

The devices are low-divergence, free-space laser diodes with 25 and 45um apertures.

Designed for thermal-print, graphics and coding applications, the small emitting apertures with low beam divergence produce high brightness in a small, simple-to-integrate, chip-level device.

The Power Core 25um device is offered at 0.5W.

The 45um device is available at 2.0W.

These diodes are designed to be packaged in 9mm cans, in free-space and fibre-coupled versions.

In the fibre-coupled configuration, the diodes are offered with a standard 60um core diameter with 0.15 numerical aperture.
