Laser
Scanner
Microsaic’s scanner technology
is smaller and tougher than mirror based laser scanners.
Microsaic’s technology integrates optics with
robust cantilevers to produce a tough laser scanner
on a silicon chip that is extremely thin and flexible,
and highly suitable for non-invasive applications:
-Endoscopy
-
Inspection of bearings, gas-turbines and jet engines
| Depth of field: |
10 cm to 30 cm |
| Frequency: |
100 Hz to 2 kHz |
| Source: |
Class 1 laser |
| Size: |
0.3 mm x 0.3 mm x 20 mm |

Tuneable
Laser
Widely tuneable lasers are essential
elements of DWDM and wavelength-routed optical systems.
Microsaic has developed a tuneable laser prototype
in collaboration with Marconi Communications. This
miniature tuneable external cavity laser diode is
constructed to act as an agile frequency source in
dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) optical
telecommunications systems.
Microsaic’s tuneable laser
offers a reduction in size and cost, combined with
an improvement in stability and reliability.
| Laser: |
L and C band |
| Tuning range: |
1450 nm to 1570 nm |
