Abstract
The recent development of a new laser-based light source offers enhanced performance and efficiency across various domains, notably in light microscopy, medical procedures, advanced industrial applications, and far-field illumination. This innovative light source, with a directional and narrow angle beam, is characterized by its high luminous flux, an impressive luminous intensity exceeding 8000 cd and ability to localize its optical power outperforming any existing LED technology by an order of magnitude. The light source is constructed around a 5 W blue laser diode and unique single crystal conversion element and boasts a compact design, making it highly amenable to seamless system integration. Designed specifically for scientific, biotech, and machine vision applications, this product features a remarkably low étendue and narrow viewing angle of as low as 4.5°. This promises unparalleled system efficiency and has the potential to revolutionize optical setups.
