PD-LD Awarded Laser Locking Patent
New VBG® technology improves laser diode performance. Pennington, NJ (PRWEB) January 11, 2008 -- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently granted PD-LD, Inc, the worldwide leader in Volume Bragg Grating® (VBG®) technology, an additional patent bolstering the firm's diverse portfolio of exclusive VBG® products and services. Patent No. 7,298,771, awarded on Nov. 20, 2007, protects a highly practical and low cost technology for controlling the emission spectra of laser diodes, diode bars and stacks. Specifically, the PD-LD breakthrough utilizes VBG® technology to lock the wavelength of laser diodes and control the spectral width of laser emission. "This technology greatly improves the performance of laser diodes in a very practical and cost effective manner" said Dr. Vladimir Ban, PD-LD's President and CEO. "It is a highly attractive option for applications such as pumping of solid state and fiber lasers, and other settings where strict wavelength control is necessary. Other applications include Raman spectroscopy and sensors. Furthermore, this is the enabling technology for effective manufacturing of RGB lasers utilized in laser TV and other laser based display applications." "This is the fifth patent awarded to PD-LD, Inc. in the past 6 months. PD-LD's position in a number of important markets is strengthened by this award and we are now serving numerous customers, ranging from high-power laser pumping applications, Raman spectroscopy to consumer focused RGB laser displays.
