Verdens første bærbare wideband laser demonstreres på CES24

I forbindelse med den kommende CES24 udstilling i Las Vegas vil hollandske SuperLight Photonics demonstrere firmaets banebrydende bærbare wideband laser, der er oplagt til lyskilde for industrielle og bio-medicinske imaging applikationer (in english).

SuperLight Photonics, a pioneer company for supercontinuum lasers, will showcase the SLP-1000, the first portable wideband laser, at CES24. Its innovative concept stands out in the industry and offers a portable, high-quality, fully coherent, and unrivaled light source for industrial and bio-medical imaging applications.

Traditionally, supercontinuum lasers have been bulky, heavy, and power-hungry, limiting their applications. SuperLight Photonics has redefined this landscape by miniaturizing the supercontinuum laser into a handheld Photon-IC (PIC) device, an industry first.

Since its recent press release, the SLP-1000, featuring supercontinuum laser generation (SCG), has gained attention for its portability, low power consumption, and battery-operated design, unlocking unprecedented in-field applications. Mounted on a drone, it supports aerial surveillance, precision farming, and crop monitoring. Handheld devices extend to forensics, material and surface inspection, environmental sensing, and quality control, bringing the SCG laser lab to the field.

Cees Links - known as the inventor of the WiFi technology - has since August 2023 been engaged with SuperLight Photonics as their CEO, an he expresses excitement about showcasing this innovative approach at CES:

- Our miniaturized SCG to a Photon-IC stands out in the industry, earning high customer traction and market interest. The SLP-1000 is a perfect fit for forensics, agriculture, biomedical, and spectroscopy applications. To better understand the advantages of wideband lasers compared to monochromatic lasers, consider the difference between color TVs and black-and-white TVs: the superiority of the color TV doesn’t need additional explanation.

The SuperLight Photonics participation in the Dutch Pavilion perfectly aligns with the CES Eureka Park innovation theme, providing attendees with insights into the booming future of photonics. 

SuperLight Photonics, based in Enschede, the Netherlands, is a pioneering Dutch spin-off company from the University of Twente aiming to become a leading player in wideband lasers.

The platform technology offers solutions in various sectors, including medical applications in spectrometry, OCT, precision farming and crop monitoring, surface inspection, and pollution detection. SuperLight Photonics is at the forefront of creating Photon-IC (PIC) solutions. Capitalizing on the momentum within the photonics sector, SuperLight Photonics contributes to a technologically advanced and sustainable future.
