Nlight, a specialist in semiconductor and fiber lasers, introduces what it claims is the industry’s brightest multi-mode diode laser.
This new addition to the element diode laser portfolio emits 200 W from a 105 µm fiber, 0.15 NA. In one year, Nlight’s element fiber laser pump increased more than 25% in power and brightness over its own previous records.
This milestone for fiber-coupled diodes was achieved through developments in both chip and packaging technology. The brightness of element pumps has impacted the architecture of high-power fiber laser and direct diode systems.
Nlight says based on cascaded single-emitter laser diodes, high-power fiber coupling and simplified packaging, the element platform offers the highest brightness diodes in the industry today. Available at wavelengths from 793 nm to 976 nm and power levels up to 220 W, these high-performance diode lasers are designed for next-generation fiber and solid-state laser pumping.
