Spectralus Corporation and Satori Electric Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting the new Spectralus® ATTO green laser at the Embedded Technology 2009 tradeshow, which will be held at Pacifico Yokohama (Japan), Nov 18-20. If you are planning to attend, please look for the Booth E-14. Spectralus' VP of Laser Engineering John Khaydarov, who will be representing Spectralus at the show together with Satori Electric, said "We are excited about the first exhibit of Atto green laser. We are especially excited to do it in Japan, the home of world's leading consumer electronics companies." For more information on the tradeshow, check http://www.jasa.or.jp/et/english/index.html.
Spectralus Corporation, a leader in efficient green laser technology and engineereed nonlinear optical material, announced
that is has successfully integrated first units of the new generation "ATTO" green lasers. The ATTO green laser, delivering average
power output of 60mW at 532nm wavelength, are built into a low-cost, ultra-miniature package that fits into
bounding box, making it the smallest (~0.33cc) and most efficient (12-15% WPE) green laser in its class. The laser is targeting primarily microdisplay (e.g., LCOS or DLP) mobile RGB projection devices and can be set for standard modulation frequencies of 60Hz and 120Hz, with the models allowing modulation of several kHz also available. "We are very proud of achieving this milestone," said Spectralus' VP of Product Development Andrei Shchegrov, who has been running the ATTO project at Spectralus. "The Atto laser represents the convergence of two major company projects directed at 15% wall-plug efficiency target and package minituarization to bring the total volume under 0.4cc. We have successfully accomplished both goals and are now on track to build our customer units as well as qialification units over the next few weeks and start shipping first units in January 2010." Stepan Essaian, company CEO, added,"We believe that our Atto laser is the solution for the missing green color in mobile projectors." Additional details about Spectralus' ATTO green laser can be found on its product web page.

Spectralus Corporation announced today that it will be presenting a technical report on its proprietary, PPMgOLN-based high-efficiency green laser source. The presentation is going to be made by Dr. Khaydarov at the Society for Information Displays (SID) conference, which will be held during the week of May 31 - June 5, 2009 in San Antonio, Texas. "We are happy to give this presentation at the symposium, which brings together leading display professionals from around the world," said Dr. Khaydarov. For more details on the paper, titled "High-Efficiency Green Laser Source for Compact Projectors," please check the SID conference program at http://www.sid2009.org/.
Spectralus Corporation today announced that it achieved an important high efficiency milestone for its novel compact green laser. Andrei Shchegrov, Vice President of Product Development of Spectralus, said, "Our green laser development program has been efficiency driven from the very beginning. We understood early on that mobile green laser applications will simply be impossible with traditional platforms that typically find it challenging even to reach 5% wall-plug efficiency level. Our entire team has been working very hard towards this milestone and today we are happy to demonstrate a green laser source with power levels 100~200mW with showing over 10% wall plug efficiency in a 30 degrees C temperature range. To our knowledge, no other green laser platform demonstrated such high levels of efficiency in such a wide temperature range. This opens up serious opportunities for our green laser to be used in a miniature battery-operated devices. We have attended the recent CES 2009 tradeshow in Las Vegas and had a good feedback from our customers in consumer electronics industry. We are next planning to further minituarize the package and bring our green laser product to the market". During the CES 2009, Dr. Shchegrov also met with Insight Media, the leading display market analysis company, and discussed key features and advantages of Spectralus technology as well as product release plans. This information may be obtained in the January 2009 Mobile Display Report by Insight Media at http://insightmedia.info/monthlyreports.php.
