Beam sources based on VCSEL arrays are able to heat large surfaces with directed wavelength-selective infrared radiation. These VCSEL heating systems are used in numerous industrial heating processes. Due to direct irradiation of the treatment surface, significant cost benefits can be achieved compared to conventional laser systems, without expensive optics or scanner systems. The unique thing about the systems is that, in addition to the precise control and fast switch-over of the infrared output, the spatial heating profile can also be programmed as needed through independent control of small segments of the laser modules. The heating patterns can even change dynamically during operation. This enables unparalleled process flexibility.
Benefit from a scalable output power in the kW range.
Individual emission zones of the VCSEL beam source can be controlled independently of one another.
Achieve a high process speed with irradiance of 100 W/cm².
The robust and compact laser modules can be integrated easily into industrial systems and production processes.
Benefit from direct and homogenous heat treatment of large target areas, as well as from a high tolerance to back-reflections. Due to the high irradiance of over 100 W/cm², you can achieve high process speeds.
Enjoy the benefits of precise regulation of the heating power and free control of the heating profile in a longitudinal direction.
