Advanced VCSEL Technology

Multi-junction VCSELs are more advantageous than edge emitting lasers and LED in providing illumination to camera because of their narrower wavelength range over temperature thus consuming less power with better illumination effect.

VCSEL does not require a back facet monitor like a diode laser; it can be driven like a LED, but at much higher power levels with a much lower drive current.

Features:

1.The SuperLux is applied with our own VCSEL chip. The spectrum width is <2nm and the temperature drift is <0.1nm/°C. Such performance is friendly to users who use narrow filters (10nm width). The other lasers have width at 5nm-8nm and temperature drift at 0.27nm/°C。 Such specification put strict requirement for the filter. One filter might not be able to cover full spetrum under different drivers or environment. This causes lower power efficiency.

2.Our VCSEL laser can avoid issues which EEL laser has such as COD,etc. It is more reliable. It can work for 30,000 hours.

3.Our laser can work continuously which other laser cannot.
