Production Site for Pulsed Laser Diodes (PLDs) Now Certified for Automobile Applications

Certified for Automobile Applications
The Canadian production site obtained AEC-Q101 environmental and operation certification for automobile applications. This is further evidence that we work exclusively with high-quality materials and precise production methods. AEC-Q101 certification is part of the production part approval process (PPAP) that was developed for the high-power triple-junction PLD 905D1S3J09UA.

Introducing the QuickSwitch^® Pulsed Laser Diode
QuickSwitch^® PLDs, which emit particularly short pulses, are Canada’s latest highlight, enabling measurements at short distances of less than one metre.
Laser bars and switch electronics were integrated into the compact TO-56 housing of QuickSwitch® pulsed laser diodes. Short wire bonding makes it possible to achieve a current path with low inductance, which is necessary for pulse lengths of less than 3ns. At the same time, this element delivers current peaks that are high enough to produce optical power levels of several tens of watts.
