JDSU Highlights High-Powered Laser Portfolio at LASER 2007


Portfolio Ideally Suited for Precision-Driven Applications in Biomedical Instrumentation, Micro-electronics, Semiconductors, and Material Processing

MILPITAS, Calif., June 14 -- JDSU, a leader in optical innovation, will showcase a variety of new developments within its Commercial Lasers product portfolio at booth # B3.365 at the LASER 2007 World of Photonics show in Munich, Germany from June 18-21, 2007.

Product demonstrations will include:

FCD488 - JDSU's recently introduced FCD488, a blue solid state laser ideally suited for bio-instrumentation, medical imaging, and semiconductor inspection applications, will make its European debut at LASER 2007. Leveraging JDSU's telecom manufacturing strength, the FCD488 offers customers a unique and industry leading combination of compactness, low heat load, robustness, and the option of fiber delivery.

"Customers have quickly recognized the competitive benefits offered by this new and innovative product, and we are already experiencing strong demand for FCD488 in Europe," said Len Marabella, director of marketing for JDSU's commercial lasers product group.

Q Series - JDSU's Q Series lasers provide precise, high average power output at 355 of 532 nm. JDSU's unique design results in outstanding pulse-to-pulse energy stability and mode quality that are required by high precision micro-electronics and semiconductor applications. With the tightest possible process tolerances, JDSU's Q Series lasers are ideal for micromachining and other material processing applications.

PFL - JDSU will demonstrate a new 10W pulsed fiber laser prototype that capitalizes on JDSU's highly reliable single emitter diode lasers and fiber laser experience. With high peak power and excellent mode quality and reliability, this developing product targets marking and material process applications.

In addition, JDSU laser experts will offer several presentations during the show, including:

"Advancements in Reliable, High Power, Single-Emitter Diode Lasers"
Tuesday, June 19, 13:30, Exhibit Hall B2

JDSU's Franck Leibreich will outline state-of-the-art requirements for high power, near infrared (800nm - 1000nm) single-emitter diode lasers and diode bars. This session will include an overview of recent progress towards lasers with very high power and efficiency.

"Optoelectronic Devices for Optical Communications Systems"

Tuesday, June 19, 9:15, Room 21, International Congress Centre, Munich (as part of LASER 2007 - European Optical Society (EOS) Conference)

JDSU's Ed Murphy will discuss how optical device technology is evolving to support the drive towards higher transmission rates, deployment of fiber deeper into the access space, and the demand for network agility in long haul and metro networks.
