Tektronix – Optimize High Throughput DC Production Testing of Laser Diode Modules and VCSELs with Keithley

New & Cost-Effective Methods of DC Production Testing of Laser Diode Modules and VCSELs

Laser diodes (LDs) and VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) are the primary components used in optical communications, 3D sensing, spectroscopy, and a host of other important applications. As the demand for these applications grows, so does the need for the basic components themselves. This demand requires greater emphasis on developing accurate, cost-effective production test strategies.

It’s also important to remember that, with either device type, there are many steps taken in the manufacturing process. The value-added nature of each step in manufacturing dictates testing each component prior to the next assembly step.
