Replacement arrays on offer from IMC (Opto News)
Industrial Microphotonics Company, a division of Cutting Edge Optronics (CEO) that specializes in laser-diode bars and arrays, is now offering replacement diode arrays compatible with models that are no longer commercially available. "Owners of diode-pumped lasers that have been working well for the past several years are looking to replace diode arrays that have finally worn out," said IMC s director Ted Konopelski. "Because the original manufacturers of many of these diode arrays no longer develop these products, we have been providing limited quantities of cost-effective replacement arrays." CEO inherited TRW s laser-produced plasma and extreme-ultraviolet laser activities when TRW purchased the company last year for $19 million in cash. The company s products now range from 1 W semiconductor lasers through to multi-kilowatt diode-pumped solid-state lasers.
