Opnext appoints The Optoelectronics Company as laser diode distributor in Europe and North America

Optoelectronic component distributor and manufacturer The Optoelectronics Company Ltd of Henham, Bishops Stortford, UK has been selected as an authorized distributor in Europe and North America for the laser diode products of optical module and component maker Opnext Inc of Fremont, CA, USA.

The firm will offer the complete Opnext line-up of industrial laser diodes from 404nm through 852nm and output power ranges from 5mW to 500mW. All Opnext laser diodes are RoHS compliant.

One of the red laser diodes from Opnext for mobile pico projector applications is the HL63603TG laser diode, which has a visible wavelength of 638nm and an output power of 120mW. Available in a 3.8mm package with single transverse mode, it is suitable as the red light source of RGB laser pico projectors.

“We expect current global economic conditions to make the next 12-18 months challenging, but we are confident that there will remain a strong market throughout Europe and North America for innovative optoelectronic products,” comments says Optoelectronics Company managing director Tony Pope.
