Compact medical laser goes into mass production at Jenoptik

Date Announced: 11 Jun 2010

New applications thanks to miniaturized design.

With the JenLas® D2.mini Jenoptik is launching a new laser that offers the required laser output, primarily for medical and show applications, and simultaneously a size which has been significantly reduced. The benefits of this are efficient mass production and easy integration into equipment.

Jenoptik has further developed the diode-pumped, green thin-disk laser, which has a proven track record particularly in the medical field. With a simultaneous improvement in beam quality the laser has been reduced in size by a scale of 3.5. The miniaturized version of the product is now going into mass production in Jena.

With an output power of 2 Watts the new JenLas® D2.mini is a further development of the JenLas® D2.x technology. The main areas of use are medical technology as well as show applications. The marked reduction in volume and extremely compact look makes the laser even more attractive for use in the medical field.

In addition to use in the field of ophthalmology applications for the laser treatments are now being increasingly extended to the areas of laser endoscopies and dermatology. Additional benefits for the clients include efficient mass production as well as easy integration of the robust laser into various systems, including those of smaller dimensions.

The production of the green thin-disk laser at the Jena site is certificated to meet the stringent requirements in the area of medical technology. More than 10,000 units of the proven JenLas® D2.x laser have already been manufactured in Jena and are now in use worldwide. The green lasers emit laser light at 532 nanometers and are ideally suited for integration into laser treatment systems. In March this year e.g. Jenoptik was awarded a major order for medical lasers from the USA worth nearly 16 million US dollars.
