Rogers' Power Electronic Solutions to Shed Light on Thermal Management at SPIE Photonics West
January 13, 2016 | Rogers CorporationEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Rogers Corporation’s Power Electronics Solutions (PES) group plans a strong presence at the upcoming SPIE Photonics West Conference and Exhibition, set for February 13-18, 2016 in San Francisco’s famed Moscone Center.
Photonics West is the world’s largest event for lasers, photonics, and biomedical optics products and technologies, with two exhibitions and a comprehensive technical conference. The show is expected to draw more than 50,000 attendees and will feature more than 4000 technical papers.
Rogers at Booth 309
Representatives from Rogers Power Electronics Solutions (PES) group will be on hand at Photonics West Booth 309 to share insights on the company’s latest thermal management solutions, including its innovative curamik® liquid and passive cooling products. curamik coolers include CoolPerformance and Cool Performance Plus, CoolPower, and CoolEasy product lines. Active water-cooled CoolPerformance and passive CoolEasy products are typically used for removing heat generated by high-power laser diodes. At the show, Rogers PES will also present its new CoolPerformance Plus cooler, which includes a ceramic isolation layer for CTE matching and separating the electrical contact from water. All of these coolers incorporate high-quality copper for excellent thermal conductivity and effective thermal management.
Rogers Speaks at Photonics West
As part of Photonics West, Rogers PES, in partnership with Advanced Cooling Technologies (www.1-act.com), will present a report on ACT’s (unique vapor-deposited Applied Nanoscale Corrosion Resistant (ANCER™) coatings that help extend the operating life of micro-channel copper coolers for cooling laser diodes. Thin, conformal ANCER coatings will provide excellent long-term protection from erosion and corrosion for curamik active liquid coolers. The technical presentation, which will be held on Tuesday, February 16, from 11:30 to 12:30 in the Demo Area 2 (Hall D North), will offer details on testing performed on the ANCER coatings and how they provide effective protection for Rogers curamik and other thermal management products and materials.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
Trump Copper Tariffs Spark Concern
07/10/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPresident Donald Trump stated on July 8 that he plans to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports, sparking concern in a global industry whose output is critical to electric vehicles, military hardware, semiconductors, and a wide range of consumer goods. According to Yahoo Finance, copper futures climbed over 2% following tariff confirmation.
Happy’s Tech Talk #40: Factors in PTH Reliability—Hole Voids
07/09/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkWhen we consider via reliability, the major contributing factors are typically processing deviations. These can be subtle and not always visible. One particularly insightful column was by Mike Carano, “Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper,” where he outlined some of the possible causes of hole defects for both plated through-hole (PTH) and blind vias.
