II‐VI Incorporated is exhibiting its industry-leading products and capabilities at SPIE Photonics West from February 4-6, 2020, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, Booth #1427. These products and capabilities are enabling photonics innovations in diverse markets, including in communications, materials processing, life sciences, automotive, consumer electronics, and more.
New Products and Capabilities:
- High-Speed Datacom VCSELs on 150 mm GaAs Technology Platform: II-VI’s high-speed VCSELs developed for datacenter transceivers are now available on its scalable 150 mm GaAs platform to meet the expected high-volume demand for optical HDMI cables.
- Water-Cooled Aluminum Variable Radius Mirror (VRM) for 20 kW Lasers: II-VI’s new VRM is water-cooled to enable laser processing heads to achieve a power rating of 20 kW and above. The VRM is made of aluminum, which is 80% lighter than comparable copper and stainless steel solutions. VRMs enable laser processing heads to precisely maintain the focal point of the laser beam on the workpiece by adjusting the mirror’s radius of curvature.
- Electro-Optic Modulators for Ultrafast Lasers: II-VI’s electro-optic modulators enable ultrafast lasers to generate a series of highly controlled energy pulses at rapid intervals to achieve precision machining tasks such as scribing, drilling, and marking at a very high speed.
Video Demonstration:
II-VI will demonstrate the shaping of short pulses down to femtoseconds using the Finisar WaveShaper 100A/SP Programmable Single Polarization Filter, to enable precision micromachining and multi-photon optical microscopy applications.
II-VI is also participating in a special presentation hosted by the University of Arizona’s Wyant College of Optical Sciences:
