Why did my laser projector fail?
Why is my laser projector less bright?
Why are my laser projector's colors different?
If you have asked yourself questions like these, don't feel bad - You are not alone! Every day people around the world experience this very same issue, and have the unpleasant experience of having to deal with a broken or unusable laser show projector, that is the result of premature laser diode failure. And premature laser diode failure is caused in many cases, by electro-static discharge (ESD) and power surges. Thankfully, there is a solution, and it's called LASORB!
THE PROBLEM WITH LASER DIODES
Nearly all laser show projectors, have laser modules inside. And inside most laser modules, are laser diodes. A laser diode is a small semiconductor device that produces coherent radiation. A diagram is shown below, illustrating w

The industrial laser market is seeing unparalleled growth, and much of this is being attributed to the reduction in cost of laser diodes, and the new “direct diode approach” to building laser modules and systems. Due to this vastly expanding technology, their is a growing demand across a wide variety of industries, for products and systems that utilize laser technology.
As a result of this industry growth the LASORB product line is growing in popularity as well, with more and more prestigious companies using LASORB to protect the laser diodes in the products they manufacture. LASORB is such a game changer for laser diodes, that is has drawn the attention of Laser Systems Europe Magazine (one of the laser industries leading publications).
In the latest edition of Laser Systems Europe Magazine, they discuss the vastly expanding laser diode market, and interview LASORB Chief Operating Officer Justin Perry, to gain insight into why the laser diode market is growing, why the “direct diode approach” is better, and how LASORB is helping to contribute to the growth of the laser diode market overall.

]]>LASORB has been on the market since 2008, and is currently utilized by hundreds of well-known companies, to protect the laser diodes inside of their various product designs. LASORB has historically been sold in an encapsulated “through-hole” component form. However, in working with many clients across such a broad spectrum of laser applications, it became clear to us, that by offering the product in an SMT form, it would help accommodate clients who need a smaller overall package, or who need to employ entirely SMT-based assembly techniques. The LASORB SMT KIT consists of two resistors, a capacitor, and Pangolin’s TSOP6/4G-20V LASORB semiconductor.
In addition to providing clients with a smaller package size, the LASORB SMT KIT also offers substantial cost advantages, as it is at least twenty percent less expensive to produce when compared to the traditional through-hole component form.
To help clients understand how the individual components within the kit should be connected together, and connected to a laser diode, we have published the circuit layout of the LASORB through-hole part. The circuit layout clearly identifies all components in the LASORB SMT KIT including all resistors (R1, R2), capacitors (C1) and the TSOP6/4G-20V semiconductor.
Additional information about the various LASORB purchasing options, can be found online at the following link: http://www.lasorb.com/pdf/LASORB_purchasing_options.pdf
We have already begun selling the LASORB SMT KIT to clients, and stock is available on all LASORB components in our USA, EU, and Asia offices. We are also offering a program, whereby you can obtain samples of LASORB, by sending in a request via our website and discussing your product application with us. More information about this is available at http://www.LASORB.com.

We’ve just returned from the 2014 Photonics West Exhibition in San Francisco, where we showcased the latest developments coming from our LASORB product line, including new LASORB components optimized to protect GREEN laser diodes, like those made by the company OSRAM. We also compiled a short video from the show, which discusses LASORB, and explains how the product works and the advantages it can give you as both a consumer or manufacturer of laser equipment. If you have any questions on LASORB, or would like additional information, email us ([email protected]), we are happy to help!

LASORB, the ESD absorber for laser diodes is proud to be exhibiting at the 2014 Photonics West show. This year, we are very excited to showcase a few new LASORB components, like our L44-916 and L44-392 devices, which are specifically optimized to protect popular laser didoes like the OSRAM GREEN laser diode, and OPTNEXT RED laser diode. In addition, we are showcasing LASORB devices for a variety of other laser diodes, such as red, green, blue, infrared, and Quantum Cascade Lasers.
Stop by our booth (2104, south hall) and learn more about why LASORB is the world’s leading protection device again ESD and power surges for laser diodes.
