Where to Buy High Brightness Laser Diodes

Sheaumann manufactures spatially single-mode laser diodes with external locking options in a variety of packaging configurations, in any wavelength 780–1070 nm. An output power of up to  600 mW is possible depending on the wavelength and package type.

Frankfurt Laser Company offers a wide range of laser diodes, including high-brightness diodes emitting at various wavelengths. We also offer custom packaging; please contact us to discuss your requirements.

SHIPS TODAY: AeroDIODE offers fiber-coupled laser diodes with very high brightness (meaning high power and high precision/small spot size when focusing) dedicated to micromachining or fiber laser pumping 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 808 nm, 915 nm, 940 nm, 976 nm, 980 nm or 1064 nm.

APS’ selection of high-powered visible diode lasers offer a few key features including high efficiency and long lifetime. With wide temperature range and high optical output power, these blue and green lasers lead product performance and innovative packaging, as their small package size is particularly beneficial to highly compact systems.

The BFP high power fiber coupled diode lasers are available with output powers from a few watts to almost 100 W. Pulsed (quasi-CW) models generate up to hundreds of watts of peak power.

Available options:

• visible aiming beam
• monitoring photodiode
• custom fiber optics and connectors
• flat-top or smooth beam profile
• integrated TE coolers, current and temperature controller
• extended operation temperature ranges

Lumibird manufactures high brightness diode sources generating up to 120 kW in one line at 940 & 980 nm and up to 250 kW at 880 nm. A driver is available in a separate rack or integrated to the source for the 100-kW version.
