The new surface emitter — a single-mode VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) with a wavelength of 850 nm and an output power of 1 mW or 1.5 mW — offers a wide range of advanced features, including a circular Gaussian beam profile, transverse single-mode operation, and polarization stability.
Integrated into its TO-46 housing is a photodiode that enables real-time power monitoring and feedback control, ensuring maximum reliability in demanding applications. This makes the VCSEL ideal for industrial and life science sectors, supporting technologies such as sensor systems, image processing, LIDAR, time-of-flight measurement, and short-reach data link.
