Micro Optics for Laser Diodes
From: FISBA AG
FISBA manufactures custom micro-optics for laser diodes, which include FACs, single-emitter SACs and SAC arrays and FBTs. For diode lasers to reach their full potential, output beams must be shaped to optimize optical quality. FISBA’s components enable this precise collimation and beam shaping. FACs collimate the beam in the fast axis, but to fully collimate the diode output beam, they should be combined with other micro-optical components.

Optimized For 365nm Si PD Process
From: Marktech Optoelectronics
SERIES 4 was designed for use @365nm (.22A/W) or in Blue/Green applications requiring very high sensitivity, low noise and long term stability against UV and Gamma Radiation. These photodiodes are well suited for measurements in photometry, analytical systems as well as fluorescence measurements. In addition to the optimized blue and UV spectral range, the photodiode can be used for measurements in the entire wavelength range between 300nm and 1100nm.
