Quantum Well Intermixing: Brightness, Reliability, Efficiency
Utilizing its patented Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) technology, Intense creates innovative laser products that enable unrivalled levels of power, brightness, and reliability. State-of-the-art, high volume manufacturing processes deliver exceptional performance in high power visible and IR laser diodes, high power bars and stacked arrays, high power fiber lasers, and individually addressable arrays.
Intense's patented Quantum Well Intermixing process increases the quantum well bandgap of a semiconductor laser in a controlled and highly precise manner so 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 other laser devices.
