High energy efficiency and low power VCSEL heating modules for battery manufacturing // Next generation of TruHeat VCSEL modules // Sensing applications benefit from the superior optical characteristics of VCSEL // Live demonstrations on speed and distance measurement and particulate matter sensing

Ulm, June 19, 2023 – TRUMPF Photonic Components, a global leader in VCSEL solutions for industrial laser heat treatment and industrial sensing 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.

High efficiency and low power consumption with TruHeat VCSEL systems
Laser heat treatment processes benefit from highly efficient TruHeat VCSEL systems.
The VCSEL-based technology requires low power consumption and a small footprint.


Integrated VCSEL solution for aptical sensing
TRUMPF offers a highly automate process to integrate VCSEL diodes in more complex systems.
This also enables costomer-specific adaptations such as the integration of driver electronics or special optics.
