Phonic crystal laser provides high beam quality at single wavelength

A next-generation laser light source that provides high output and high beam quality at a single wavelength, while simultaneously controlling beam spread has been announced by Hamamatsu. Developed by a group from Hamamatsu Photonics and Kyoto University’s Photonics and Electronics Science and Engineering Center, samples will be offered to instrument manufacturers by spring 2014.

The new laser can potentially be used as a light source for a large variety of applications, such as direct laser microfabrication, various types of laser excitation, wavelength conversion in projectors, sensing and measurement, position detection, distance measuring image sensors, profile measurement systems, and motion sensing.

Hamamatsu will exhibit the new photonic crystal laser at Photon Fair 2013, the company’s new technology exhibition to be held from the 7th – 9th November at the Act City Hamamatsu Convention Center in Hamamatsu, Japan.
