ams-OSRAM AG. [Austria]
The company manufactures and trades products based on semiconductors. It runs primarily through two business parts, Semiconductors, and Lamps & Systems. In the Semiconductors section, there are semiconductor-focused items like high-performance LEDs, lasers, and optical sensors that cater to customers from different sectors including automotive, consumer goods, and industrial markets. Laser diodes fall within the category of lasers and are one of the main suppliers of Indium Gallium Nitride (InGaN) lasers that can be seen. The business keeps putting money into this laser technology because it could potentially alter how it moves around in cars in upcoming times.
Coherent Corp. [United States]
Coherent Corp. is a major manufacturer of designed materials and components linked to optoelectronics and systems related to optics. They provide solutions that are vertically incorporated for an array of applications. Coherent runs two business sectors which include Photonic Solutions and Compound Semiconductors. Coherent develops a variety of laser diode modules with collimated-beam free-space output and fiber-coupled output. Options of wavelength for diode lasers are 405 nm, 445 g nm, 488 nm, and others like 635 nm,655nm, 785nm, and 830nm can be custom-made. The laser modules find use in many areas such as regular aiming, pointing out things, bio-medical applications and machine-vision uses.
Recent Development:
• March 19, 2024– Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a worldwide top company in powerful diode lasers for beauty and skincare uses, has brought a new type of diode laser bar into the market today that will completely change the hair removal industry. This creative 808 nm bar applies a two-junction design to give out 200 W from only 100 A input current, making it twice as efficient compared to the older single-junction bars. The introduction of Coherent's 808 nm diode laser bar is a major achievement since this enables quicker, safer, and better result-giving treatments for removing hair while also reducing discomfort significantly.
• In 2021, OSRAM mentioned a new chip design they made specifically for edge-emitting lasers (EEL), which drastically improves the stability of wavelength under working temperatures going up to 125°C - something usually seen with car uses.
