ALTER's ability to offer a wide range of flexible and customizable solutions sets them apart. By starting with bare laser diode chips from multiple manufacturers, ALTER quickly provides the market with various package solutions in different wavelengths and powers, maintaining consistent performance. This method results in no development costs, shortened lead times, and reliable modules in industry-standard packages, particularly benefiting OEMs and system integrators.

Laser Type: VCSEL

Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are distinguished by several unique features that make them stand out from traditional edge-emitting lasers. One of the primary differences is the direction of light emission. VCSELs emit light perpendicular to the surface of the chip, whereas edge-emitting lasers emit light from the edge. This vertical emission facilitates easier integration and alignment with optical components like lenses and fibers.

Wavelength Range: IR

Infrared radiation can be emitted by objects that are not hot enough to emit visible light, making it useful for thermal imaging and night vision. Various sensors and detectors, such as photodiodes and bolometers, are used to detect infrared radiation.

Mode: singlemode

Singlemode lasers are particularly useful in applications requiring precise control of the light beam. In optical communication, their high coherence and narrow beam allow for efficient coupling into optical fibers, which reduces signal loss and enables long-distance communication. In high-precision measurement systems, singlemode lasers provide the accuracy needed for applications such as interferometry, spectroscopy, and metrology. They are also ideal for sensing and imaging applications due to their focused and coherent beam, making them suitable for high-resolution imaging and precise sensing applications, including LIDAR and biomedical imaging. Furthermore, singlemode lasers are frequently used in scientific research, particularly in laboratories for experiments requiring precise and stable light sources, such as atomic and molecular spectroscopy. The design of singlemode lasers typically involves specific structural considerations, such as a small core size or a precise refractive index profile, to support only the fundamental transverse mode and ensure high beam quality and coherence.
