OZPEN – A carbon dioxide cleaning system for optical components
The OZPEN – from leading fibre specialist OZ Optics – is a versatile small surface area precision cleaning system for fibre optics and other components. The OZPEN produces an adjustable spray of clean dry air or nitrogen containing small carbon dioxide ‘dry ice’ particles to efficiently remove foreign matter from a surface.
The composite spray cleaning technique is a patented process using the chemically active, dry CO2 spray for efficient and effective removal of inorganic and organic surface contamination from substrate surfaces.
The cleaning unit delivers a precisely controlled accelerated stream of solid carbon dioxide particles at high velocity. This snow is created from the conversion of liquid CO2 to solid CO2 particles and CO2 gas at the spray nozzle. The nozzle, propellant pressure, and temperature are adjusted for optimal cleaning process.
Thin film organic contamination can also be removed by snow cleaning providing it is soluble in liquid CO2. Typical light oils are good candidates for CO2 cleaning.
As the solid CO2 spray within the plume is at a temperature of around -78 °C, the cooling properties of can be used to remove contaminants with high water content, first by freezing, then by fracturing it from the underlying substrate.

Up to 20W CW from new AKELA Laser Diode Modules
AKELA Laser Corporation has announced the release of the first of a series of laser modules and other products based on AKELA’s market-leading long wavelength laser diodes from 1030 to 1950 nm. These entry-level modules, which are aimed at volume applications, are designed for both 200 micron and 400 micron 0.22NA fibers, and provide up to 20 Watts CW. Future releases of laser modules will include increasingly higher power levels as well as modules with built-in accessories such as photodetectors, aiming beams, blast shields, and fiber sensors.
AKELA’s high efficiency modules operate at low drive currents and are not subject to catastrophic failure. Offering a built-in thermistor and an SMA output so that the customer can use the fiber brand of his choice and replace the fibers at will, these modules provide unmatched value and also help customers lower their overall system costs by enabling them to use less expensive drive electronics, power supplies and cooling methods.
AKELA’s line of long wavelength high power laser diodes sets the standard in the industry. No other company provides the high powers or the wide range of wavelengths. These products are ideal for military and other eye safe applications, dermatology applications such as body shaping, cellulite removal, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle removal or any other application dependent upon water or fat absorption peaks. In addition, these devices can be used as replacements for standard wavelengths pumping holmium or thulium fiber lasers.
