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:

Photodynamic therapy application

Modulight ChiliLase

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.

New product introduction

Modulight announced this month the arrival of its laser family's newest member: the high-power, single-emitter 1550 nm laser chip housed in a 9-mm TO-can. The product code is ML1470.
