Partners to improve high-brilliance systems

Osram Opto Semiconductors is coordinating a three-year project to improve high-brilliance infrared laser systems’ performance and to reduce production costs. The IMOTHEB (Integrated Micro-Optical and microTHermal Elements for diode lasers of high Brilliance) project, part of the “Integrated Microphotonics” Initiative, runs from Oct. 1, 2012, to Sept. 30, 2015, and is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research. Project partners include Dilas Diode Laser and Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy, a nonprofit research organization.
