The Optoelectronics Company now supplies Oclaro’s HL63153AT red laser diode. The device delivers 150mW single-transverse-mode optical output power at 638nm, which is 25 per cent more power than its predecessors.
The increase in output power is due to new technology, including an optimised waveguide structure, and fine-tuning the laser device structural parameters. The higher performance enables a brighter, more vibrant high-lumen image display for compact mobile devices such as pico-projectors, smartphones and mobile gaming devices while greatly decreasing power consumption.
