Diode Laser Group Of Jenoptik At LASER Trade Show With New Developments In High-Power Diode Lasers

The conversion of the products to high-efficiency diode-laser bars, which began with the unveiling of new products at LASER two years ago, is completed. The transition to hard-solder mounting for all passively cooled diode-laser types has made it possible for these lasers to reach capacities previously only achieved by high-power diode lasers based on microcanal heat sinks.

With a new passively cooled QCW stack, JENOPTIK Laserdiode GmbH is using their experience in manufacturing high-quality diode lasers in the domain of QCW diode lasers for the first time. Such a product is ready for use in the aerospace industry among others.

New applications were previously made available to diode lasers through the usage of microcanal heat sinks, which are highly efficient cooling elements but are accompanied by strict cooling-water quality requirements. JENOPTIK Laserdiode GmbH presents a new solution — the industrial water stack, which does not require deionized water for cooling, thus creating new possibilities for users and a longer life time for industrial applications. The industrial water stack redefines ruggedness for laser-diode stacks.

Further variations of stacks, which are optimized for specific high-power diode-laser applications, round off the array of stack goods JENOPTIK Laserdiode has to offer.

Also new is a line of single and multi-emitter diode lasers that opens up new possibilities in the lower output range for the pumping of DPSSL.

Based on JENOPTIK Laserdiode's further developed high-power diode lasers, JENOPTIK uniquemode GmbH has created new products for the healthcare market. One such product is a module with an output power of 30 W from the fiber including all of the enhancements required for medical usage. This creates an inexpensive solution to a wide variety of applications all at the disposal of the user.

JENOPTIK unique-mode's expertise in fiber coupling can also be seen in a new product, which for the first time combines the new line of single emitters with a cost-effective fiber coupling.

Information about the new product presentations and all of the other goods of the Diode Laser Group is available during LASER 2007. World of Photonics at Jenoptik's stand (hall B3, stand 417).
