Tampere, Finland & San Jose, CA, Aug 26th 2008 - Modulight is pleased to announce the introduction of a new generation of high power collimated laser modules. Built around the proven 9-mm TO-can package, these laser modules target customers in need of high-brightness laser sources with low beam divergence.

Featuring fast axis collimation and a compact package design for easy cooling, the collimated laser modules come in two flavors:

• Fixed collimation optics, preset to meet customers' application requirements in terms of beam divergence or spot size;
• Adjustable collimation optics, enabling the end user to fine-tune the laser output for the optimal beam shape required by his application

Two most popular Modulight product families (ChiliLase and RangerLase) have so far benefited from the new collimation technology. Laser modules producing 300 mW of output at 635 nm (ML1794) or 500 mW at 1550 nm (ML1533) are currently available in both fixed and adjustable optics configurations. Other laser wavelengths over the whole Modulight product range from 635 nm to 1625 nm are available on request.
