Intense Ltd. Announces High Power, Single Mode, 830nm Diode Lasers for Defense, Medical, Print & Imaging Applications



Glasgow, Scotland -- 16 July 2007 -- Intense Ltd. , the developer of next generation semiconductor lasers, today announced the HPD6020 830nm high power single emitter laser diodes. The HPD6020 are high beam quality, single mode lasers with up to 200mW of output power. The lasers are based on the company's patented Quantum Well Intermixing technology, which increases the brightness and reliability of laser diodes while avoiding the usual problems associated with catastrophic optical mirror damage. Therefore, the HPD6020 provides the increased power, efficiency, and optical quality needed for new and demanding defense, medical, and print & imaging applications, including targeting, sighting, medical imaging and computer to plate.

A member of the HPD Series 6000 high power, single mode laser diode product family, the HPD6020 is available in wavelengths of 830nm ± 5nm. Reliability is outstanding, with data in excess of 11 million operating hours. The lasers are available in a selection of standard packages, including 5.6MM, 9MM and C-mount. Monitor photo diodes are optionally available on the 5.6MM and 9MM packages. Other wavelengths in the HPD Series 6000 family are available on request.

"The HPD6020 is the first in a series of new, high power products resulting from the recent merger of Intense Ltd. and High Power Devices (now Intense-HPD)," stated Scott Christie, CEO of Intense, Ltd. "Combining the strengths of Intense's patented Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) technology and Intense-HPD's lean, high volume manufacturing processes, enables us to deliver innovative laser products with unrivalled levels of power, brightness, and reliability."

High Reliability, High Efficiency Diode Lasers

The strength of the HPD6020 high power diode lasers is based on Intense's patented Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) technology. This process increases the quantum well bandgap of a semiconductor laser in a controlled and highly precise manner, such that active and passive sections can be created in the same laser cavity. Passive non-absorbing mirrors (NAMs) are created at the facet regions of the cavities to avoid catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD), a problem frequently encountered in typical laser devices. The end result is a high performance laser that can operate at high optical power and brightness with exceptional reliability.

Pricing and Delivery

The HPD6020 830nm laser diodes are available for immediate delivery. Prices start at $200. Custom wavelengths are available for OEM applications. Consult Intense for details.
