| Vixar introduces line of multi-spectral lasers
Plymouth, MN – Vixar, a leading independent designer and manufacturer of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), announces the introduction of a new line of multi-wavelength lasers packaged in a small form factor housing. The products target industrial sensing, spectroscopy and medical sensing applications.
Vixar is targeting new applications and markets that are driven by miniaturization, higher throughput and portability. The laser includes three individual emitters co-packaged in an industry standard TO46 housing. The laser operates at 670 nm, 795 nm and 850nm wavelength with low beam divergence (less than 20 degrees), and very low spectral width (0.1 nm). The product is available in two options: 1) A high efficiency version for settings requiring low power consumption, and 2) a high optical output power version for higher loss environments.
“ We have designed a line of lasers that provide very narrow linewidth, specific wavelengths, operation in the full temporal range from continuous to very short pulse mode, with power consumption that is significantly lower than other alternatives. This line of products is of particular interest in near-infrared spectroscopy for medical sensing and imaging applications.,” commented Mary Hibbs-Brenner, Chief Executive Officer.”

About Vixar:
Vixar designs and manufactures high performance, cost-effective Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) products in the wavelength range from 650nm to 900nm. VCSEL based components and subassemblies are increasingly becoming the laser of choice for sensor and device applications within the biomedical, industrial, office product, military, automotive and consumer industries.
VCSEL benefits include miniaturized cost-effective platforms, performance equal or better to edge emitters and lowest available power consumption. |

Vixar releases new 670 nm four element laser array
January 22, 2010
Plymouth, MN – Vixar, a leading independent designer and manufacturer of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), has released a new four emitter laser array for laser printing, medical imaging and medical sensing applications.
Vixar is targeting new applications and markets that are driven by miniaturization, higher throughput and portability. The array has four individual emitters on a 50 micron pitch and is packaged in an industry standard TO46 housing. The laser operates at 670 nm wavelength with low beam divergence ( less than 20 degrees ), and very low spectral width ( 0.1 nm ).
“ We have designed the product with reliability in mind. Red VCSELs, because of the materials required to achieve the necessary bandgap, are a lot more challenging from a reliability standpoint. We have invested since 2005 in a design and manufacturing platform that enables us, today, to show lifetimes exceeding 6,000 hours at 40 degrees Celsius, said Klein Johnson, Chief Technical Officer.”
