Where to Buy Direct Diode Lasers

QPC Lasers full vertical integration from epitaxy through packaging allows us to offer standard and custom diode solutions in packages ranging from open heat-sink mounts to complete OEM light engines that provide performance without compromise.

Monocrom has developed direct diode lasers for industrial applications. They are based on our solder-free laser bar Clamping™ technique, which lets them be efficiently cooled and reach a long lifetime. Up to 8 kW continuous-wave output power is possible.

SHIPS TODAY: AeroDIODE offers fiber-coupled laser diodes with very high brightness (meaning high power and high precision when focusing) dedicated to micromachining applications between 808 nm and 1550 nm as stock items or associated with a high power laser diode driver with air cooling. Most turn-key diode & driver solutions are optimized for single-shot to CW performances. 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. The highest brightness/power models are based on special laser diodes for emission at 808 nm, 915 nm, 940 nm, 980 nm or 1064 nm.

The Lumics LuOcean diode lasers are ideal for OEM integrators aiming to develop state-of-the-art end-user laser systems, featuring single emitters with a very long service life and up to four different wavelengths. Users can choose from a wide range of wavelengths, including 670 nm, 760 nm, 785 nm, 808 nm, 890 nm, 915 nm, 940 nm, 975 nm, 1064 nm, 1470 nm, and 1940 nm with custom wavelengths and specifications available upon request. The modules can be configured to match the customers power requirements. Optional enhancements such as temperature, fiber and power monitor sensors and pilot beams further extend the module's capabilities.
