Optical components and optical systems for VCSEL diode laser systems

Optical components and optical systems for VCSEL diode laser systems Abstract High power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays can be used as a versatile illumination and heating source. They are widely scalable in power and offer a robust and economic solution for many new applications with moderate brightness requirements. The use of VCSEL arrays for high power laser diode applications enables multiple benefits: full wafer level production of VCSELs including combination with micro-optics; assembly technologies allowing large synergy with LED assembly thus profiting from the fast development in solid state lighting; outstanding reliability and a modular approach on all levels. With the use of μ-lenses, the described optical principle of near field imaging and superpositioning of many thousands of VCSELs gives perfect control over intensity distribution and is inherently robust. With a slightly modified approach, lines of any desired length can be built from modules of 1-cm length and are therefore scalable for a wide range of applications. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advanced Optical Technologies de Gruyter

Abstract

Abstract High power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays can be used as a versatile illumination and heating source. They are widely scalable in power and offer a robust and economic solution for many new applications with moderate brightness requirements. The use of VCSEL arrays for high power laser diode applications enables multiple benefits: full wafer level production of VCSELs including combination with micro-optics; assembly technologies allowing large synergy with LED assembly thus profiting from the fast development in solid state lighting; outstanding reliability and a modular approach on all levels. With the use of μ-lenses, the described optical principle of near field imaging and superpositioning of many thousands of VCSELs gives perfect control over intensity distribution and is inherently robust. With a slightly modified approach, lines of any desired length can be built from modules of 1-cm length and are therefore scalable for a wide range of applications.
