JDSU Introduces New Industrial Diode Laser Solution for Automotive and Electronic Manufacturing Applications
IDL 200 Series Includes Single Emitter Architecture to Help Maintain Uptime and Lower Maintenance Costs for Laser System Integrators
| Source: JDSU
MILPITAS, CA and MUNICH, GERMANY--(Marketwire - June 15, 2009) - JDSU (NASDAQ : JDSU ) (TSX : JDU ) today announced availability of the Industrial Diode
Laser (IDL) 200 Series systems and modules that will help end users and
systems integrators improve the uptime of their instruments and lower
maintenance costs when compared to the use of similar bar-based products.
The new IDL 200 Series will be integrated into production tools designed
exclusively for manufacturing processes that include plastics welding in
the automotive industry and selective soldering in the electronics
industry.
The key to the IDL 200 Series is the implementation of single emitter
architecture based on JDSU's proven and widely adopted L4 diode lasers.
Each diode laser emitter operates in parallel and is unaffected by thermal
crosstalk that can damage other emitters and is common in competing
technologies. The result of JDSU's design is highly reliable operation over
the life of products in even the most demanding operational environments.
In addition, JDSU's single-emitter based products operate reliably under
modulated conditions (pulsed on and off) without the lifetime limitations
associated with competing bar-based technologies.
The IDL 200 Series systems and modules also include multiple point
monitoring of the individual output power of each diode emitter, ambient
and internal system temperatures, various critical system voltages, and
other key functions. Data is reported back to the operator through various
ports, including analog, RS-232 and a front-mounted serial USB port. Health
information can be monitored in real time and a regularly updated health
log is available through the USB port for easy downloading and review.
"JDSU is dedicated to providing both end users and system integrators with
technology that provides performance and cost advantages," said Jim
Christian, Commercial Lasers product manager for the Commercial
Communications Optical Products business segment at JDSU. "The IDL 200
Series will help our customers maintain consistently reliable operations
while providing the performance that they expect from JSDU's
fiber-delivered industrial diode laser products."
JDSU will display the IDL 200 Series systems and modules at booth #141 at
Laser 2009 in
Munich, Germany. The event will be held at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre
from June 15 - 18, 2009.
