DILAS highlights technology at Photonics West as it celebrates 20th anniversary

In booth #4737 at Photonics West 2014 (2-6 February) in San Francisco, diode laser maker DILAS of Mainz, Germany is showcasing what it claims is the industry’s largest diode laser product portfolio.

Founded in 1994, this year marks DILAS’ 20th anniversary. With over 350 staff worldwide and a growing distribution network, DILAS’ products have a broad wavelength spectrum from 450nm to 2200nm across a wide range of applications in defense, commercial, industrial manufacturing, medical and scientific.

Products on display at Photonics West include DILAS’ 450nm, fiber-coupled, multi-single emitter module (nominated as a finalist for the 2014 Prism Awards) as well as products from DILAS’ high-power/high-brightness diode laser portfolio.

Also, DILAS’ representatives have authored or co-authored six technical papers/posters being presented during Photonics West. These include the following:
