PRODUCTION   LASER COMPONENTS is unique!

             Why is that? Although we all put our pants on one leg at a time, we
             have one basic advantage over our competitors: LASER COMPONENTS
             is both manufacturer and distributor, knowing the business from both
             sides. We offer competent advice as technological leader, we know the
             needs of our customers, and we can estimate the feasibility of new pro-
             ducts. We are particularly successful due to the collaboration between
             each of the different production facilities: In just one year, five depart-
             ments worked together to make the COUNT photon counters marketa-
             ble; and just another year later, the products were being integrated by
             international customers!

             We turn your vision into products!

             OEM products are our life. We have our standard portfolio, but we
             stand out due to our production of customized products. We offer new
             developments for our own in-house products but also for the product lines
             of our suppliers. We manufacture both single items and complete series
             according to customer specifications. The best part is: From development
             to series production, with us everything comes from one source.

             Let’s talk about it.

             Our experienced personnel is available to assist you during development
             of a product. You correspond with a single contact person, which saves
             you time.

             We look forward to working together with you!

              The Company
              In Tempe, Arizona, LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group manufactures
              semiconductor detectors. Initially, LASER COMPONENTS concentrated
              on the development and production of high-performance silicon and
              InGaAs avalanche photodiodes for the detection of the smallest amount
              of light. The product range has meanwhile been radically expanded to
              include the assembly of receivers and the development of a broad range
              of IR detectors.

              The Detector Group is a specialist for orders with individual configura-
              tions.

              Their product range extends from low-cost APDs for commercial appli-
              cations to high-end components used in military applications. The heart
              of our photon counting modules originated from this facility: it‘s the VLoK
              series of APDs used in the detection of the smallest amount of light. Com-
              plete receivers are also produced by the Detector Group. They feature
              high sensitivity and have a wide wavelength range and large frequency
              width.



              Extended Production Options with the Help of Comprehensive Equipment
              We rely on the latest technologies in the production of avalanche photo-
              diodes to implement complicated designs. We have access to university
              facilities: This allows us the flexibility to expand our capacity on short
              notice and thus guarantee short delivery times.

             Photon Counters from One Source
             Motivated by numerous customer requests, LASER COMPONENTS
             GmbH ventured the development of photon counters in house in 2010,
             relying on the know-how of affiliated production facilities in the individual
             disciplines, avalanche photodiodes and electronics. The exclusive broad-
             band coating of the integrated optics as well as the optical fiber is also
             manufactured by LASER COMPONENTS.

             From quality components to the complete system, everything comes from
             one source. This is the secret of LASER COMPONENTS’ success with its

               Uncompromising Quality.
               Quality is an absolute imperative. The consistent application of quality
               management methods has resulted in the continuous advancement of pro-

               As part of quality control, a life test rack was developed to simulate very
               different applications. The pulsed laser diodes being tested on the life
               rack are pushed beyond their approved limitations.

OPTICAL
COATINGS
             The manufacture of custom laser optics is our specialty. Depending on the
             specifications, we use different coatings methods.


Production   PVD
             Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a classic method. The coatings pro-
             duced using this method feature very high damage thresholds across the
             entire wavelength range – from 193 nm to 5 µm. We can process optics
             with a standard diameter of up to 200 mm. Our PVD coaters, which are
             equipped with an electron beam source of evaporation, are particularly
             flexible. This makes it possible to manufacture products inexpensively
             according to customer specifications, even in small quantities.



             Coater with IAD Source for Complex Coatings
             An IAD coater is used for low-drift coatings as well as for laser optics
             used at wavelengths close to the water absorption line. This type of
             coater is particularly suitable for complex coatings involving multiple
             wavelengths. Through an integrated online monitoring system, these IAD
             coatings exhibit the highest spectral precision and quality.



             Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) – The Specialty Coater
             Our IBS coater is equipped with a filament-free ion source; it sputters mo-
             lecules off a target that produce structures of dense layers on the surface
             of the substrate.

             The integrated online monitoring and zone targeting allow for any type of
             complex coating structures. This makes it possible to achieve two things:
             the highest reflection and transmission values produced in house and
             particularly steep edges.

SUBSTRATES
Production   In order for us to offer quick service, we manufacture laser optics substra-
             tes directly in Germany – from single items to small series. You determine
             the material used in your laser optics: Different fused silica glasses are
             recommended for high laser power, and the inexpensive NBK-7 is recom-
             mended for low power.



             From Raw Material to High-quality Optics
             Our laser optics substrates are cut at the required thickness from rods
             using a glass saw. This allows us particular flexibility.



             Grinding and Polishing – Take Advantage of our Many Options
             We shape your optics using several grinding and polishing machines.
             We produce flat surfaces using a lever machine. The most modern CNC
             machines are used to shape spherical surfaces. A surface figure of l/10
             is usually achieved after polishing.



             Highest Quality – The Finish with the “Rolls Royce” of the Industry
             The quality of the substrates is measured after fine grinding and polishing
             using an interferometer from the company Zygo; the measurement data
             is transferred directly to a computer. This technology provides precise in-
             formation about where the substrate requires refinishing. This information
             is transferred to the QED for refinishing. The QED is a polishing machine
             of the highest quality that makes the smallest corrections to the surface
             figure.

Development &
Production
                In-house Product Developments
                We pay close attention to the requests made by our customers. Many
                developments were made in accordance with concrete customer speci-
                fications; in fact, this has led to the development of different drivers for
                diodes.



                Prototype Design
                Thanks to extensive laboratory equipment, developments can be made
                very quickly. Prototypes can be built in a matter of days. With the help
                of software, our R&D team initially designed a printed circuit board to be
                manufactured using a computer-controlled circuit board milling machine
                followed by the manual assembly of the prototype.



                Quality Assurance and Series Production
                Each prototype is subjected to comprehensive testing and measurements
                at our measurement stations. If it meets all the criteria, the prototype is
                approved for series production.

  • 8. PRODUCTION LASER COMPONENTS is unique! Why is that? Although we all put our pants on one leg at a time, we have one basic advantage over our competitors: LASER COMPONENTS is both manufacturer and distributor, knowing the business from both sides. We offer competent advice as technological leader, we know the needs of our customers, and we can estimate the feasibility of new pro- ducts. We are particularly successful due to the collaboration between each of the different production facilities: In just one year, five depart- ments worked together to make the COUNT photon counters marketa- ble; and just another year later, the products were being integrated by international customers! We turn your vision into products! OEM products are our life. We have our standard portfolio, but we stand out due to our production of customized products. We offer new developments for our own in-house products but also for the product lines of our suppliers. We manufacture both single items and complete series according to customer specifications. The best part is: From development to series production, with us everything comes from one source. Let’s talk about it. Our experienced personnel is available to assist you during development of a product. You correspond with a single contact person, which saves you time. We look forward to working together with you!

  • 12. PHOTODIODES Production ASF The Company In Tempe, Arizona, LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group manufactures semiconductor detectors. Initially, LASER COMPONENTS concentrated on the development and production of high-performance silicon and InGaAs avalanche photodiodes for the detection of the smallest amount of light. The product range has meanwhile been radically expanded to include the assembly of receivers and the development of a broad range of IR detectors. Sophisticated Products according to Customer Specifications The Detector Group is a specialist for orders with individual configura- tions. Their product range extends from low-cost APDs for commercial appli- cations to high-end components used in military applications. The heart of our photon counting modules originated from this facility: it‘s the VLoK series of APDs used in the detection of the smallest amount of light. Com- plete receivers are also produced by the Detector Group. They feature high sensitivity and have a wide wavelength range and large frequency width. Extended Production Options with the Help of Comprehensive Equipment We rely on the latest technologies in the production of avalanche photo- diodes to implement complicated designs. We have access to university facilities: This allows us the flexibility to expand our capacity on short notice and thus guarantee short delivery times.

Direct contact: info@lasercomponents.com Do you have questions, do you require a customized product, or do you need an offer? Contact our product engineers!
  • 32. OPTICAL COATINGS The manufacture of custom laser optics is our specialty. Depending on the specifications, we use different coatings methods. Production PVD Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a classic method. The coatings pro- duced using this method feature very high damage thresholds across the entire wavelength range – from 193 nm to 5 µm. We can process optics with a standard diameter of up to 200 mm. Our PVD coaters, which are equipped with an electron beam source of evaporation, are particularly flexible. This makes it possible to manufacture products inexpensively according to customer specifications, even in small quantities. Coater with IAD Source for Complex Coatings An IAD coater is used for low-drift coatings as well as for laser optics used at wavelengths close to the water absorption line. This type of coater is particularly suitable for complex coatings involving multiple wavelengths. Through an integrated online monitoring system, these IAD coatings exhibit the highest spectral precision and quality. Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) – The Specialty Coater Our IBS coater is equipped with a filament-free ion source; it sputters mo- lecules off a target that produce structures of dense layers on the surface of the substrate. The integrated online monitoring and zone targeting allow for any type of complex coating structures. This makes it possible to achieve two things: the highest reflection and transmission values produced in house and particularly steep edges.

  • 36. OPTICAL SUBSTRATES Production In order for us to offer quick service, we manufacture laser optics substra- tes directly in Germany – from single items to small series. You determine the material used in your laser optics: Different fused silica glasses are recommended for high laser power, and the inexpensive NBK-7 is recom- mended for low power. From Raw Material to High-quality Optics Our laser optics substrates are cut at the required thickness from rods using a glass saw. This allows us particular flexibility. Grinding and Polishing – Take Advantage of our Many Options We shape your optics using several grinding and polishing machines. We produce flat surfaces using a lever machine. The most modern CNC machines are used to shape spherical surfaces. A surface figure of l/10 is usually achieved after polishing. Highest Quality – The Finish with the “Rolls Royce” of the Industry The quality of the substrates is measured after fine grinding and polishing using an interferometer from the company Zygo; the measurement data is transferred directly to a computer. This technology provides precise in- formation about where the substrate requires refinishing. This information is transferred to the QED for refinishing. The QED is a polishing machine of the highest quality that makes the smallest corrections to the surface figure.

  • 40. ELECTRONICS Development & Production In-house Product Developments We pay close attention to the requests made by our customers. Many developments were made in accordance with concrete customer speci- fications; in fact, this has led to the development of different drivers for diodes. Prototype Design Thanks to extensive laboratory equipment, developments can be made very quickly. Prototypes can be built in a matter of days. With the help of software, our R&D team initially designed a printed circuit board to be manufactured using a computer-controlled circuit board milling machine followed by the manual assembly of the prototype. Quality Assurance and Series Production Each prototype is subjected to comprehensive testing and measurements at our measurement stations. If it meets all the criteria, the prototype is approved for series production.
