Application development
program - Ready2Lase
At Modulight, we don't
promise, we deliver!
Exceeding customer expectations continues to be one of Modulight's
key principles. During the past 12 months we've taken another
step towards full service customer experience. Working together
with some of our key customers, we have developed products tailored
specifically for their new applications.
By their nature, lasers are complex and often impressive
devices. However, their true technological value is revealed only
when put to work in a real-life application. At Modulight, we understand
that most of our customers purchase lasers to empower applications
and that including a laser in an existing system can sometimes be
a difficult endeavor. As a result, Modulight has launched an
application development program (Ready2Lase)
aimed precisely at helping our customers understand their laser
needs and make best use of Modulight's lasers to address specific
practical problems. Benefiting from a dedicated application lab
and highly skilled (PhD-level) staff, our Ready2Lase
program can
help to reduce years of research
to months. In addition
to our wide expertise in various types of lasers, the customers
gain access to our extensive range of off-the-self lasers without
having to commit to ownership for each of these lasers.

The Ready2Lase
program is strongly bonded to
Modulight's Application lab. The lab features a complete line of
opto- electronic characterization equipment such as:
laser-grade power supplies;
temperature-controlled laser mounts;
spectral and beam analysis equipment;
optical power meters (both semiconductor and thermopile);
electrical measurement equipment;
a large assortment of optics and dedicated electronics.

All this equipment can be employed to assemble an exhaustive test-bed
for Your application . Depending on your needs, Ready2Lase
can span from a simple assessment of the best parameters of a specific
laser in Your application to the development of a complete sub-system
with plug-in electronics interface and optics for beam delivery
right to your specific application.

Photodynamic therapy
application

To meet increased customer demand for visible laser
light, Modulight released in June its newest product family: ChiliLase,
the high-power red laser diodes. Operating in the range of 635-690
nm and delivering up to 4 W in a 200-um core optical fiber at room
temperature, the ChiliLase family products are the result of a major
development effort, combining state-of-the-art semiconductor technology
with innovative packaging solutions. Modulight's ChiliLase comes
in a sealed, fiber-pigtailed package that permits easy interfacing
to the power supply as well as the cooling systems. For selected
applications, Modulight supplies the driving
electronics, turning ChiliLase into a self-contained laser |

module, readily pluggable into customer's system. High-power diode
lasers operating in the red spectral range (635-690 nm) have a high
priority on the wish list of many application developers. Red lasers
are seen as enabling elements for applications ranging from photodynamic
therapy (PDT) and low level laser therapy (LLLT), to metrology and
surface inspection. Together with a leading medical equipment
provider, Modulight has harnessed ChiliLase product family to directly
support also the main PDT applications in the market, a new method
for cancer treatment. Supported by further developments, the
red diode lasers are likely to become convenient replacements of
the bulky He-Ne lasers, thus reducing the size and cost of the systems
and allowing a blossom of new applications.

Road weather monitoring
application
|
One of our customers approached us few years ago with a request
for a specialized light source to be incorporated in the first version
of their road weather monitoring system. Modulight analyzed the
request and concluded that a radical change in product design was
needed including a new type of light source. It turned out that
the solution suggested by Modulight not only improved customer's
product performance but also allowed
|
significant cost savings. Modulight was awarded a contract to
develop a suitable source and manufacture it exclusively for several
years. The road weather system lit up by Modulight can measure
the thickness of water, snow and ice layers at the same time on
the surface of a road. Also the type of ice (black or white
ice) can be accurately determined. The system enables decision based
on direct estimation of friction coefficient and thus allows for
timely and objective actions to de-ice the roads. In particular,
knowing what type of ice and its thickness correlated with the frication
data does not only lead to saving lives but could also have a direct
economical impact by avoiding over-use of salt and other de-icing
agents.
