Coherent Semiconductor Division Introduces Broad-Area, 5-Watt, High-Power Diode Laser at 810 nm
Source: Coherent, Inc., Semiconductor Division
Santa Clara, CA. Coherent, Inc., Semiconductor Division (CSD) (Nasdaq: COHR) has introduced a 500-µm broad-area emitter device rated at 5 watts, CW. An expansion of CSD s existing family of aluminum-free NIR (790 nm to 813 nm) OEM components, this new diode laser is ideal for integration into a host of direct diode thermal medical and industrial applications as well as a pump source for neodymium-based (Nd:), diode-pumped, solid-state lasers.
This OEM single-stripe diode laser is mounted on an industry-standard (10.5 mm x 25 mm) conduction-cooled package. Typical drive current and compliance voltage for the 5-watt device is less than 6 amperes and less then 2 volts. Spectral width is typically less than 2.5 nm, FWHM. Beam divergence is less than 35º by 10º, FWHM.
Founded in 1966, Coherent, Inc. is a Standard & Poor s SmallCap 600 company and a world leader in providing photonics-based solutions to the commercial, scientific, medical, and telecom markets.
