Avantes

Quick reminder: if you’re attending CVPR next week in Denver, Damon and Berto from our U.S. office will be there alongside our sister company, Image Engineering. You can find us at Booth 617—stop by and say hello!

We’d especially love to connect if you’re interested in seeing our spectroscopy instruments in action, including live demonstrations of pulsed radiometry and transmission spectroscopy measurements.

How does spectroscopy support Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) development and qualification?

Small optical variations can have a major impact on VCSEL performance and reliability. But how can these differences be accurately characterized during development and production?

Using spectroscopy for material analysis and optical characterization, we explore how VCSEL technologies can be monitored and qualified with high precision across semiconductor and photonics applications.

In this application note, we show how Avantes spectroscopy solutions support reliable VCSEL characterization throughout development and manufacturing.
