Most diode lasers in use today are utilized in common ways such as in telecommunications, manufacturing industries, etc. However, Intense is able to revolutionize the use of these high powered lasers through the evolution of optoelectronic needs, ranging from high density, individually addressable laser arrays to high power laser products.
Moreover, Intense’s patented Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) technology and state-of-the-art high volume manufacturing process are able to come up with high powered lasers that are one of a kind in terms of levels of power, brightness, and reliability.
Intense’s high powered lasers are used for defense applications. In defense and aerospace industries, high powered lasers such as laser diodes work as pump sources for solid-state systems.
Moreover, this is considered as the largest application for laser diodes having typical format of laser diode arrays and high power laser diode bars. Typically, high powered lasers such as diodes are utilized as pump sources for solid state lasers, including disc, fiber, and YAG lasers, range finding (TOF)illuminators or designators, weapons Simulation (MILES), ordinance initiation (fuzes) at 810nm to 980nm and active optical target detectors.
Meanwhile, Intense keeps in mind that there is an ever-growing need of lasers in the market thus they provide solutions by operating best-in-class technologies to answer with the increasing demands for laser diode technology throughout the market.
Further, laser diodes are utilized in the areas of defense and law enforcement through low power rangefinders (i.e. short-range <10km) with single emitters. Their laser diodes are able to provide higher power and brightness necessary for long range target designation.
Intense believes that improvement of the performance of laser diodes, in terms of cost and efficiency, increased power and brightness are they key in any application that these laser diodes are used.
Greater power and brightness per unit cost enable more cost effective solutions and allow more diverse application of lasers to solve demanding challenges. Intense manufactures a highly competitive range of high power laser diodes that are ideal for use in aerospace and defense applications.
Intense’s compact, modular designs and advanced Quantum Well Intermixing (QWI) process deliver laser diodes with high reliability, superior brightness, and enhanced power levels. In addition, Intense supplies INSlam™, monolithic single mode arrays for precise delivery and control of optical energy.
Meanwhile, laser diodes are also utilized in a number of medical applications. Photo dynamic Therapy is among the most important are the treatment of cancer. Another is the treatment of macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy by Photocoagulation and the prevention of secondary dental infection by Photodynamic Disinfection.
Laser diodes are also useful in medical applications for such as early cancer detection by Computed Tomography Laser Mammography and the treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and musculature strain with the use of Low Level Laser Therapy. For the beauty conscious and aesthetics purposes or may be therapeutic purposes, these powerful lasers are utilized in cosmetic applications such as in hair removal.
Across all application areas, increased power, brightness, and reliability are critical to improving performance. Greater power and brightness per unit price enable the development of more cost-effective solutions and solve a more diverse range of application challenges.
