Products and technology

Rogers offers liquid cooling materials designed to dissipate large amounts of heat, and provide thermal management of high-power laser diodes and other heat-generating optical devices. The cooling structures are copper foil channels bonded into a tight block, with aluminum-nitride isolation layers added for extra performance.
In March 2020 Rogers filed a complaint against ElastaPro for trade secret violations, claiming that this company had unlawfully obtained Rogers' technical formulations and manufacturing knowhow.
