LASER COMPONENTS along with its manufacturing partner iXblue has announced availability of a variety of optical fibres. LASER COMPONENTS supplies both active and passive fibres for applications ranging from fibre laser manufacturing, through distributed fibre sensing, to biotechnology, oil & gas or nuclear physics.

LC LMD modules are the right choice if you are looking for an easy and inexpensive solution in large quantities. Typical applications for these laser diode modules are consumer products. The absolute smallest modules in the world contain the laser diode, drive electronics, and optics all in a metal housing. They can be operated directly with 3VDC without additional electronics. 

Streetlights and high-bay fixtures require high flux and efficacy to meet the ever-increasing demands for system efficiency and energy cost reduction for these applications. LUXEON 5050 LEDs have received an upgrade in both flux and efficacy. Typical performance is now 675 lm with 172 lm/W in full bin shipments and higher performance is available.

Now in stock at distributor TTI is the VLMX1300 series of ChipLEDs from Vishay.

Smart lamps in a wide variety of shapes, smart luminaires, products for indoor and outdoor use or plugs for integrating conventional light sources - the new LEDVANCE PARATHOM portfolio for residential and garden areas can be controlled optionally by voice command or app and offers a suitable solution for a wide range of requirements.

The EA-DOGM081/162/163 series character LCDs from Electronic Assembly are available in an FSTN positive transflective, STN positive transmissive, STN negative transmissive, FSTN negative transmissive, and STN positive reflective versions.

LASER COMPONENTS has announced a new eye-safe 1535nm passively Q-switched laser module. Offering pulse energy up to 300uJ with 5ns pulse width, these modules are compact and light weight, making them well suited for handheld range finder applications.

In stock at distributor Mouser Electronics are the OLI300, OLS300, OLI500, and OLS500 high-speed optocouplers from Skyworks Solutions.

Phototransistor-type optocouplers are available for the first time from Würth Elektronik. The WL-OCPT Series 816 coplanar design optocouplers consist of an infrared LED on the input side and a phototransistor on the output side.
