High power red laser diodes are a critical building block for laser TV and display applications. New projectors require several 10s of Watts of combined red, green and blue laser optical power to meet the customers' expectations brightness and image quality. The Oclaro 700mW red laser diodes enable customers to maximize overall output power without increasing the number of components inside the projector.
With a high Wall Plug Efficiency of approximately 38%, the HL63193MG reduces the electrical power consumption and also the amount of heat which has to be removed from the package, allowing for more compact and integrated designs.
"Oclaro is excited to release this unique laser diode at Photonics West 2014," said Yves LeMaitre, President, Optical Connectivity Business of Oclaro. "We are ready for mass production with this product and believe it will enable new and exciting consumer applications for red lasers. This new laser diode is a result of our industry leadership in chip technology and expertise in delivering red lasers with both high efficiency and high optical output-power."
