Coherent thought leaders will present at industry events, workshops, and technical sessions.

PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS

FOR THE ELECTRONICS MARKET:

• Dot projector module for depth sensing: This module enables customers to design cameras that capture an entire scene at a broad angle and extended depth range even in bright outdoor lighting conditions, all while maintaining low power consumption.

• VCSEL-based illumination module platform: This platform uses eight 940 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) modules that allow selectively addressable horizontal slices of the field of illumination (FOI). A demonstrator is available to explore multiple VCSEL module positioning configurations and scanning algorithms for various depth sensing modalities and types of scenery.
  

FOR THE INSTRUMENTATION MARKET:

• OBIS 640 XT red laser module: This module matches the high output power, low noise, beam quality, and compact size of Coherent’s existing portfolio of blue and green laser modules, which as a complete set enable high-performance super-resolution microscopy (SRM) systems.
  

FOR THE COMMUNICATIONS MARKET:

• WaveShaper 1000A, 4000A and 500B: These test and measurement instruments, which can generate arbitrary filter shapes in attenuation and phase, are now available over a wider wavelength range extending into the U- and Super C-bands.
  

FOR THE INDUSTRIAL MARKET:

• 532 nm HyperRapid NXT industrial picosecond laser: This laser, with its 100 W average output power, is ideal for ultraprecision manufacturing of thin-film solar cells. Other applications for this laser include structuring of battery foils and dicing of silicon wafers.

• Infrared wire-grid polarizers (WGPs): This family of infrared polarizers operate in the MWIR over 3-5 µm and the LWIR over 7-14 µm, for laser-based atmospheric remote sensing applications. They are based on meta-optics wire technology that achieves a contrast ratio of an order of magnitude greater than the highest-performing comparable products in the industry.
  

PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION

Test and Measurement: WaveShaper 4000A/U-Band and WaveAnalyzer 400A (Booth #4805)
Coherent will demonstrate arbitrary optical filtering using the newly introduced WaveShaper 4000A/U-Band in combination with a WaveAnalyzer 400A High-Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyzer. With its broad wavelength coverage, the new WaveShaper 4000A/U-Band supports research and development activities in next-generation optical networks.
