Bookham is extending its offering to the industrial market with a new range of integrated high power laser diodes.
Product highlights include a 2.4kW fast axis collimated 9xx nm vertical stack prototype based on the Bookham 120W high power bars, which enables higher powers while using fewer bars on microchannel coolers.
The product facilitates the scaling-up of disk laser power and provides benefits for direct diode applications.
A range of linear bar arrays solutions (at 120W, 200W and 300W) for the pumping of Nd:YAG lasers.
50W standard 30% fill factor and 50W high brightness 20% fill factor 9xx nm bars, which provide tailored brightness solutions for collimation and fiber coupling requirements.
40W 9xx nm single mode bars that will enable new direct applications.
A 30W maxichip from an 800um emitting area, which allows direct coupling into a standard 800um fibre without additional optics, thus reducing complexity.
New high power single emitters for different fiber laser applications.
"Our products bring together a broad range of leading edge technology: our laser diodes provide leadership in terms of power, brightness and reliability; and our gold/tin soldering expertise enables this without the limitations of soft solders.
"Bookham is able to provide cost-effective, high-power solutions for our customers, thus opening up new market opportunities without compromising reliability," said Steve Turley, chief commercial officer at Bookham.
"Our new products significantly extend our capability, allowing our customers to benefit in both current and next generation Nd:YAG applications, as well as rapidly advancing fields such as disk and fibre lasers".
The new products have applications in a range of markets, from material processing to marking and printing, medical applications such as skin resurfacing and hair removal, and military/aerospace applications from laser warning and targeting to inter-satellite communications.
