Princeton Optronics, a recognized leader in high efficiency, high power VCSELs and VCSEL arrays, announces the availability of high power (2W and 6W) 860 and 940nm VCSEL arrays with diffusers mounted on top of them for use as illuminators for 3D Imaging applications. The diffusers have the ability to modify the divergence angle from the native 20 degree round beam to a maximum of 110x90 degree divergence suitable for many applications. Other divergence angles such as 65x45 degrees are also available.

The VCSEL arrays with diffusers are used for IR illumination for time of flight (TOF) or other applications for distance measurements. High divergence is normally needed for head mounted depth camera applications and machine vision. Normally 860nm illuminators are used for predominantly indoors applications and 940nm illuminators for outdoor applications where solar background in present. Princeton Optronics VCSEL arrays with diffusers typically have a wavelength bandwidth of +/-5nm and an efficiency of >40% at 60 deg C.

Princeton Optronics is a manufacturer of high power single and multi-mode VCSELs and VCSEL arrays, and products using VCSEL devices and arrays. It has a diverse line of products suitable for applications including illumination, sensing and solid state laser pumping.
