Hi,

Don't forget, this Thursday is the OSSD meeting.  JDSU will be presenting material on high power diode lasers.  Please RSVP so I can order enough pizza!

MEETING NOTICE-OPTICAL SOCIETY OF SAN DIEGO

HIGHLY RELIABLE DIODE ENSEMBLES FOR DIRECT DIODE APPLICATIONS AND PUMPING SOLIDSTATE LASERS

by Andrew Leuzinger

Thursday, April 19,  Fish and Richardson Law Office
Dinner 6:00-7:30, Talk 7:30 - 8:30

Abstract

This talk will focus on an alternative to the traditional bar diode approach for pumping solid state lasers:  single emitter and ensemble sources.  JDSU has made significant progress in producing highly reliable sources capable of very long MTBF's.  The capabilities and lifetime characteristics of these new single emitter and ensemble sources will be discussed.

Andrew Leuzinger is Product Line Manager for Fiber Lasers and Diode Systems within JDS Uniphase's Commercial Laser Division. Prior to JDS Uniphase, Mr. Leuzinger held product management positions at Agilent, Mitsubishi Electronics, and SpectraSwitch. He also spent 10 years at Lightwave Electronics in a variety of positions. Mr. Leuzinger obtained his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his M.S. in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from Stanford University, and his MBA from the University of California at Berkeley.
