Manufacturer/Distributor: FLC

The Frankfurt Laser Company (FLC) is a specialized company based in Germany that focuses on the development, production, and distribution of laser products and systems.

Laser Type: VCSEL

A Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is a type of semiconductor laser diode that emits light vertically from the surface of the fabricated chip, unlike traditional edge-emitting lasers that emit light from the edge. This unique structure involves several layers, including an active region where light is generated, sandwiched between two highly reflective mirrors known as Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs). These DBRs reflect the light back and forth through the active region, amplifying it before it exits perpendicularly from the surface of the chip.

Wavelength Range: Visible

Visible lasers excel in precision, brightness, and versatility. They are essential in manufacturing for accurate cutting, in medicine for surgeries like LASIK and diagnostics. Their high visibility makes them ideal for pointers, alignment tools, and surveys. They are crucial in optical communication, entertainment light shows, measurement tools like rangefinders and LIDAR. Additionally, they are valuable in scientific research and education for their consistent, precise light.

Mode: multimode

Multimode in lasers refers to the operation of a laser that supports multiple transverse modes, resulting in a light beam that is less coherent and more divergent compared to single-mode lasers. This means the laser emits light at multiple spatial patterns and sometimes at multiple frequencies, leading to a broader and more diffuse beam. Multimode lasers are useful in applications where high power and wide beam spread are required, such as in material processing, medical treatments, and certain types of optical sensors. The design of multimode lasers typically involves a larger core size or different refractive index profile to support multiple light paths.
