Oclaro laser line filters reduce background noise and offer compatibility with Oclaro laser diodes

SAN JOSE, USA: Oclaro Inc., a tier-one provider of innovative optical communications and laser solutions, has announced a new line of Clarity laser line filters specifically designed to suppress amplified spontaneous emissions (ASE) that occur in Diode Pumped Solid State (DPSS) laser systems and improve the signal to noise performance of laser systems.

These new filters are ideal for the growing life sciences and analytical markets, and when combined with Oclaro laser diodes, provide customers with significant cost and time-to-market advantages by eliminating the need to work with multiple suppliers on critical components.

The new Oclaro filters can reduce the background noise on the laser and provide superior signal to noise performance for the laser manufacturers' customers. As a leading supplier of both laser diodes and filter products, Oclaro can speed customers' time-to-market, reduce development cost and simplify a customer's business by reducing the number of suppliers they have to manage in their design cycle.

Furthermore, customers benefit from Oclaro's world-class manufacturing excellence and innovation that was perfected in the telecommunications industry and is now being leveraged across a diverse set of markets, such as the solid state laser market.

"With the introduction of the new Clarity line filters, Oclaro once again brings its expertise developed in the telecom world to industrial applications," said Yves Le Maitre, Executive Vice President and Division Manager at Oclaro.

"Customers not only benefit from having a single source supplier for all their filter and diode needs, but also from Oclaro's world-renowned manufacturing excellence, ability to quickly scale to high-volumes and achieve attractive price points."
