II-VI debuts 1.5W 1060nm Seed Laser

40 percent more pulsed power targets next generation of fibre laser systems

The II-VI Laser Enterprise Division of II-VI, a provider of high-power semiconductor laser components, has unveiled a new generation of high power 1060nm single-mode laser diode seed module.

The new laser diode module is designed to seed nanosecond pulsed fibre lasers addressing the fast-growing market for MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier) fibre lasers. The innovative module delivers up to 1.5W in nanosecond pulse operations.

"With 40 percent more pulse power compared to our previous offering, our new diode seed module enables the next generation fibre laser systems for a wide range of applications," said Karlheinz Gulden, general manager, II-VI Laser Enterprise. "Together with our distributed feedback laser diode module designed for sub-nanosecond operations, we offer customers the most comprehensive seed laser diode portfolio in the market."

The II-VI laser diode seed module features a higher power 1060nm Fabry-Perot single-mode laser diode chip and a standard cooled telecom 10-pin mini butterfly type package that includes a thermistor and back-facet monitor photodiode. 

The 75 percent smaller form factor of the mini butterfly package versus the legacy 14-pin version enables a reduction of overall footprint of the seed assembly. A broad- or narrow-band Fiber Bragg Grating is optionally available to control the spectral properties for the suppression of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) or for the improvement of frequency conversion performance, respectively.

II-VI Laser Enterprise will showcase the new laser diode seed module at SPIE Photonics West, Feb. 16-18, 2016, in San Francisco, CA.
