Ames Osram and Crytur jointly build a new color conversion laser module

Crytur, the world's leading optical solutions and optical equipment manufacturer, released its latest MonaLIGHT laser module, which combines Ames Osram's PLPT9 450LB_E blue laser diode and Crytur's new phosphor conversion technology.

Crytur's MonaLIGHT B01 module can generate a beam of incoherent high power visible light, which can be more effectively coupled to optical fiber or photoconductor than LED.

This module is based on Ames Osram's powerful blue laser diode PLPT9 450LB_E (5W, TO90 metal can package), and is combined with a special transmission phosphor converter produced by Crytur. Different from the traditional phosphor converter for scattering laser beams, Crytur phosphor shapes the beam into a narrow angle and converts the blue light of the laser diode into a wide spectrum visible light output (spectral bandwidth: 500nm - 650nm).

The MonaLIGHT module can provide the peak light intensity that LED technology cannot reach, up to 7000 cd. When the luminous flux is 1100 lm, the electro-optic conversion efficiency is at least 80 lm/W. The light beam of the module has a narrow 8 ° viewing angle and a very low light collection rate<0.2 mm2 sr. For space or weight constrained applications, the MonaLIGHT module is ideal, with a diameter of only 12 mm, a length of 24.1 mm, and a weight of 18 g. Compared with traditional laser modules, MonaLIGHT provides higher optical efficiency at lower cost. In addition, the light output of the MonaLIGHT module will not produce a speckle effect.

"Crytur has made a breakthrough in phosphor technology, making full use of the high luminous intensity of the PLPT9 450LB_E laser diode to enable the MonaLIGHT module to produce specific colors and high efficiency, which is an ideal choice for many applications." J? Rg Heerlein said, "It is an impressive technical achievement that such a small and light module can produce strong light output with excellent characteristics."

Modular architecture supports custom configuration

The modular structure of MonaLIGHT enables Crytur to configure the output to meet specific customer requirements. Customer specified optical components, such as band-pass spectral filters, optical guides and lenses can be built into the module. High integration enables customers to build very compact and efficient optical components. This makes the module ideal for many applications, including scientific instruments such as visible light or fluorescence microscopes, machine vision systems, and head up displays in avionics systems.

The MonaLIGHT B01 module can be sold worldwide through authorized distributors of Crytur products.
