DILAS, the diode laser company, introduces the only commercially available high-power diode laser arrays operating at 1940nm with wall plug efficiencies of >10%. With proprietary epitaxy, these high-power diode laser arrays can be principally integrated into all DILAS packages, ranging from single-bar configurations up to large-scale stack modules which can include hundreds of bars per module.
Based on a single diode laser array, DILAS' new generation 1940nm conduction-cooled, fiber-coupled diode laser modules generate output power of 6W, 12W, and 18W, using a standard 600µm fiber bundle with a numerical aperture of <0.22 and SMA-905 fiber connector. To DILAS' knowledge, these fiber coupled modules are the first commercially available laser diode module of this wavelength to boast a wall plug efficiency (WPE) of >10%.
Easily integrated into OEM equipment, these sealed, conduction-cooled, fiber-coupled modules feature options like visible pointer, serial fiber interlocks, and user exchangeable protection window, providing maximum flexibility for integrating into larger systems.
The new 1940nm fiber coupled diode laser modules are primarily targeted at the medical (therapeutic dermatology and surgery) and industrial markets (material processing applications).
