VCSEL heating solutions increase energy efficiency

TRUMPF Photonic Components, is showcasing the latest product developments of its TruHeat VCSEL series and live applications of optical sensing at LASER World of Photonics 2023 in Munich, Germany.

The VCSEL-based heating systems offer direct and homogeneous heat treatment for processes such as drying, sealing or softening. At the laser show, TRUMPF demonstrates two new heating solutions for e-mobility. “One example is our next generation TruHeat VCSEL systems for battery foil drying, offering even higher efficiency and lower power consumption,” says Ralph Gudde, Vice President Marketing and Sales at TRUMPF Photonic Components. “A small footprint, high process quality, fast processing and lower CO2 emissions are the benefits customers get, when processing using TruHeat VCSEL systems,” Gudde adds.

Live demonstrations: Highly precise sensing with VCSELs
Production control and quality management is supported by smart optical sensing solutions to measure speed, distance and position of various materials. Single-mode VCSEL solutions with polarization control are the key enabler for demanding non-contact processing sensor applications due to their superior optical characteristics. A live demonstration will highlight the variety of applications the VCSEL light sources can cover. In addition to VCSEL components, TRUMPF offers integrated packages for easy and robust handling and the option to customize by integrating optics or electronics.

In a second live demo, TRUMPF shows the real-time measurement of air quality. In cooperation Bosch Sensortec and TRUMPF developed the world’s smallest, highly accurate particulate matter sensor based on a VCSEL with integrated photodiode. The VCSEL solution is a compact, reliable laser source, that is maintenance free and insensitive to sunlight.
