Lumentum Holdings, a market-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative optical and photonic products, showcased their advanced laser solutions for industrial and 3D sensing markets at the Laser World of Photonics trade fair held from April 26 - April 29, 2022, at the Messe Munchen Trade Fair Centre. Trade fair attendees were invited to meet with Lumentum representatives and view the latest additions to its comprehensive portfolio, including the new high-precision FemtoBlade for diverse materials processing applications and the recently announced M Series of high-performance multi-junction vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays for automotive and industrial 3D sensing applications.

High-Precision Ultrafast Industrial Lasers

Lumentum's suite of ultrafast femtosecond and picosecond industrial lasers support a variety of complex micromachining and materials processing applications with high power, precision, and reliability. Shorter laser pulses enable OLED cutting, PCB processing, glass cutting and processing, ceramic processing, and medical device manufacturers to benefit from increased power at higher repetition rates and more efficient thermal control for improved manufacturing throughput. Lumentum's FemtoBlade laser system employs an ultra-stable, passively mode-locked seed oscillator that relies on Lumentum-proprietary semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) technology. The new system is optimized to reduce long-term degradation and incorporates all the benefits and capabilities of Lumentum's PicoBlade® 3, including FlexBurst™, MegaBurst™, SYNC, and the award-winning AccuTrig™.

Leading-Edge VCSEL Illumination Solutions

Lumentum has displayed a wide range of VCSEL-based illumination solutions and partnership demonstrations for intelligent 3D sensing consumer, automotive, and industrial applications, including mobile, access control, industrial internet of things, extended reality, and autonomous driving.

Lumentum's automotive-qualified M Series includes high-performance multi-junction VCSEL arrays for short- to long-range mobility and industrial LiDAR applications. The M Series, which includes the M51-100, is easily integrated into customer platforms and can replace edge-emitting lasers in existing mechanically scanned systems or be arrayed into configurable illumination sources for addressable, solid-state electronic scanning LiDAR systems. In addition, Lumentum's comprehensive portfolio of next-generation 3D sensing enabling VCSEL solutions, including its 10 W flood illuminator module, will be featured in partnership displays at the Lumentum stand.
