LASER COMPONENTS Group (LCG), headquartered in Olching, Germany, has announced the significant expansion of its research, development, and production capabilities with the addition of the PbS and PbSe infrared detector product lines. The new facility is a welcome addition to the existing LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group (LCDG) site located in Tempe, Arizona. The 3-5 micron wavelength response of these Lead Salt detectors will complement the existing infrared components portfolio that includes the InGaAs PIN Photodiodes and Pyroelectric Detectors already manufac­tured by the LASER COMPONENTS Group.


This latest company addition demonstrates its commitment to providing customers with the choice of selecting the best detector for their particular application. In a statement about the LCG continued investment and focus in infrared technologies, Group Ge­neral Manager Patrick Paul explains, "Since its founding in 1982, Laser Components has specialized in IR components. Its collective know-how is extensive. Customers now profit from our in-house production facilities worldwide. As we offer IR detectors that implement different technologies, it is possible for our customers to always find their ideal solution. Gas measurement, for example, can be carried out using InGaAs, PbS/ PbSe and Pyroelectric Detectors. Depending on what exactly needs to be measured, one technology is more ideal than the other. The advantage of individualized assistan­ce can be offered by very few other manufacturers; we not only offer this help but also manufacture custom products."

Full scale Lead Salt device production has begun after careful and rigorous prototype testing verified high quality performance. Every indication points to LCDG becoming the technology leader in detector manufacturing. Inventive fabrication techniques developed by LCDG at the Arizona State University Center for Solid State Electronics Research Laboratory and in-house automation have brought LCDG to the production of PbS and PbSe detectors that feature high sensitivity. Dragan Grubisic, LCDG General Manager, said, "We can truly say that we will advance the state of the art."

The products will be introduced to the market at Photonics West 2015 in San Francisco, CA USA.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
