Miniature External Cavity Laser (MiniECL)
with 200 kHz Linewidth
TOPTICA eagleyard has
introduced the Mini-ECL
@ 780 nm and the SM Laser
Diode with 400 mW
fiber output @ 808 nm-
both in standard butterfly
platform. These two new
products are part of the innovation
path of the company.
The Mini-ECL is a single frequency laser diode with a
super fine linewidth of typically 200 kHz. A stable performance
is ensured by the integrated cavity in the hermetically
sealed butterfly package. Moreover, wavelengths between
650-1100 nm are customizable upon request, opening more
freedom across the spectrum. The standard product at 780 nm
will mainly be used for spectroscopy (Rb D2 line), metrology
and atomic clocks.
Product Highlights:
◗ 080 mW @ 780 nm
◗ Small linewidth of typ. 200 kHz
◗ Very good SMSR (typ. 50 dB)
◗ Integrated beam collimation
◗ Thermal management by integrated thermoelectric
cooler and thermistor
The advantages of the Mini-ECL become obvious when
looking at the reduced complexity based on the integration of
the cavity. Due to the ease of use, the robustness of the package
and therefore scalability, not only research applications
will benefit from this innovation but commercial and industry
requirements are more easily fulfilled than with already
available solutions. This leads to outstanding results and applications
along the value chain.
The new 400 mW SM Laser Diode benefits from all mentioned
advantages of the hermetically sealed butterfly packages
as well. With its introduction, TOPTICA claims this unique
product is the first single mode laser diode with a 400 mW output
power from fiber at a wavelength of 808 nm on the market.
Product Highlights:
◗ 400 mW single mode output ex-fiber @ 808 nm
◗ CW operation
◗ PM fiber output, plug and play with fiber pigtail
◗ Thermal management by integrated thermoelectric
cooler and thermistor

Augmented
Reality System Simplifies
Microscope-Based Manufacturing
The SZX-AR1augmented reality system easily retrofits to existing
Olympus SZX series stereo microscopes to simplify
64
complex microscope-based
manufacturing tasks and
simplify assembler training.
Manuals, assembly
instructions, images and
instructional videos can
be projected in the microscope's
field of view so that
assemblers can work more
efficiently.
The microscope-based
assembly process can require
the assembler to stop
multiple times to consult
instructions or to memorize
these instructions
before beginning their work. Repeatedly removing ones' eyes
from the microscope oculars is inefficient and memorizing directions
can lead to mistakes.
The SZX-AR1 unit solves these challenges by enabling instructions
to be projected directly in the microscope's field of
view. Now, an assembler can complete their work without removing
their eyes from the oculars or tediously memorizing
complex sets of directions.
If there's a problem during the manufacturing process, an
assembler can use third-party collaboration software, like Microsoft
Teams, to share a live view through their oculars with
an offsite manager or engineer for guidance. The AR1 unit's
image and video recording capabilities make documenting
any issues fast and simple.
Rather than relying on an onsite trainer to painstakingly instruct
new employees about each step of the assembly process,
the AR1 system enables users to receive training while they're
looking through their microscope's oculars, helping them stay
focused and making the process faster and more efficient.
Using the AR1 system, the trainer and trainee no longer
need to be in the same place, eliminating travel costs. Manufacturers
also have the option of using video recordings to
train new employees rather than using a live trainer as the instructions
can be projected directly on the sample through the
microscope's field of view.

Sensors Detect Objects Even at Large
Operating Ranges
Manufacturers and operators of highly automated systems
benefit from the cost-optimized design of these sensors.
The accurate detection of objects requires reliable technology.
Leuze has developed the new 36 sensor series exactly
with this in mind. They detect objects with different optical
