Where to Buy Diode Lasers

Eblana Photonics' core product offerings are based on our patented Discrete-Mode (DFB like) manufacturing technology, which delivers industry leading performance with fully scalable, consistent production and integration capability.

Eblana’s products are used extensively for trace gas sensing and environmental monitoring in the near- and mid-IR.

In addition, the inherent low linewidth performance of the DM platform in comparison to typical DFB lasers is uniquely suited to distributed fibre sensing and LIDAR applications, as well as scientific and metrology projects.

The Amphos6000 is a powerful diode laser pump source for high-power solid state lasers, which can also be used in pulsed operation. The focus beam cross section can have a homogeneous square, rectangular or line-shaped profile. The typical peak power is several tens of kilowatts. Most systems are custom build for the specific requirements. AMPHOS delivers the full system including control unit, chiller and software package (e.g. EPICS driver) to integrate into larger systems.

CSRayzer provides diode laser modules in butterfly package or TO-CAN package, operating in various wavelength bands. They include DBF laser diodes, SOA laser module, SLED, and pump LDs.

Vescent Photonics offers the D2-200 DBR-based tunable single-frequency diode lasers for precision spectroscopy of alkali metal vapors.

Focuslight Technologies produces a wide range of high power diode lasers, including both bare laser diodes and packaged lasers (modules). Free-space and fiber-coupled versions are available.

APS’ SmartLaser Device is a plug-and-play unit that can be used to operate, cool, and monitor laser diodes of varying size and wavelength. The SmartLaser is universal in nature and is designed to be used as a base unit to easily switch diodes (sub-mounts). The compact assembly includes a 3D printed case, active air-cooling, TEC, and integrated circuitry.

Some of the lasers of HÜBNER Photonics are diode lasers with fully integrated electronics, allowing for rapid power modulation (rise time <2.5 ns). They are available with emission wavelengths between 375 nm and 975 nm, free-space or fiber coupled output, and output powers between 50 mW and 400 mW.

CNI offers a wide wavelength range of diode lasers with wavelengths from 375 nm to 1.9 μm, including TEM₀₀ mode diode lasers, multi-line diode lasers, wavelength-tunable diode lasers, narrow linewidth lasers, long coherent diode lasers and others. They are all widely used in many scientific and industrial applications.

Alpes Lasers manufactures laser diodes emitting at wavelengths from 1.45 to 2.15 μm with powers up to 50 mW. They are offered either as chip-on-carrier or encapsulated in a low power TO-66 package with collimated or divergent free-space beam output.

SHIPS TODAY: AeroDIODE offers fiber-coupled laser diodes between 520 nm and 1650 nm as stock items or associated with a CW or pulsed laser diode driver. They are compatible with our high speed nanosecond pulsed drivers or high power CW drivers (with air cooling) for the multimode high power laser diode versions. The single mode laser diodes (either Fabry–Pérot laser diode or DFB laser diode) can reach high power in nanosecond pulse regime up to 400 mW. Most turn-key diode & driver solutions are optimized for single-shot to CW performances with pulse width lengths down to 1 ns. The laser diode precision pulses are generated internally by an on-board pulse generator, or on demand from an external TTL signal. Many multimode versions are available with CW emission up to 450 W in a 200-µm core multimode fiber or up to 250 W in a 135-µm core fiber or 160 W in a 105 µm core fiber.
