End of Life Predicted By Laser Module

Laser Module Predicts End of Life

As a laser diode approaches the end of its operational life, its imminent failure is signalled by an increase in the current being drawn from its drive circuitry. Typically, when the current draw reaches a value of 120% of its original operating value, the laser diode is considered to have reached its "Near End of Life" condition.

Hatfield Broad Oak, UK (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- Photonic Products, the UK opto-electronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialist, is showcasing new 635nm Photon laser modules with "Near End of Life Detection" facility at LASER 2007.

As a laser diode approaches the end of its operational life, its imminent failure is signalled by an increase in the current being drawn from its drive circuitry. Typically, when the current draw reaches a value of 120% of its original operating value, the laser diode is considered to have reached its "Near End of Life" condition.

PM-NEOLD laser diode modules have an integral "Near End of Life Detection" facility which is set to respond when this condition has been reached. The generated signal can be utilised by the user to trigger an audible alarm or an LED warning light. The circuit is set to be fail safe, i.e. if there is a wire breakage, the alarm signal will be triggered.

The highly reliable and efficient laser modules have optical output powers from 0.9mW to 18mW at a lasing wavelength of 635nm, power stability greater than 5 percent, operating voltage of 3-6V DC and operating temperature from -10 degrees to +50 degrees Centigrade. The lens may be adjusted to produce either a collimated beam or a focused spot, or replaced by other optical systems such as line generators.

The PM-NEOLD range of laser modules has been designed as a complete laser diode solution for OEM use in diverse applications such as industrial alignment and positioning, medical fluorescence and bar code readers.

Outsourcing Providers Surpass $200 Billion

Top 25 Outsourcing Providers Surpass $200 Billion

MMI identifies the largest providers for outsourced electronics manufacturing.

Burlington, VT (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- Manufacturing Market Insider, a newsletter specializing in the EMS (electronics manufacturing services) industry, has compiled its annual list of the 25 largest providers for outsourced electronics manufacturing. Consisting of both EMS providers and ODMs (original design manufacturers), the Top 25 outsourcing providers generated total revenue of $205.3 billion last year. What's more, Top 25 revenue increased from 2005 by 21.6%.

"Outsourcing of electronics manufacturing and related activities has rather quietly become a huge business on which many OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) now depend. A 21.6% growth rate for the Top 25 shows how robust this outsourcing business is overall. Top 25 results also reveal the growing influence of Taiwan-based companies in the outsourcing space," said John Tuck, editor and publisher of Manufacturing Market Insider (http://www.mfgmkt.com).

Taiwanese companies controlled a clear majority of Top 25 revenue in 2006. The 15 Taiwan-based companies in the Top 25 accounted for sales of $123.4 billion, or 64.8% of group revenue. According to MMI, Taiwan's predominant share results primarily from the rapid growth of the ODM business in Taiwan and the meteoric rise of one Taiwan-based company, Hon Hai Precision Industry.

Top 25 outsourcing providers were ranked based on 2006 sales expressed in US dollars. In order, the top ten were Hon Hai, Flextronics, Asustek Computer, Quanta Computer, Compal Electronics, Solectron, Jabil Circuit, Sanmina-SCI, Celestica and Inventec. Five out of the ten companies are Taiwan-based.

The Top 25 group consisted of 13 companies classified by MMI as EMS providers and 12 companies identified as ODMs. Combined revenue growth of the ODMs was nearly five percentage points higher than that of the EMS providers. Still, EMS providers represented a majority of Top 25 revenue.

More information on the Top 25 outsourcing providers can be found in the May 2007 edition of MMI.
