Where to Buy High-power Lasers

AFS’s customized kW average power and multi-mJ pulse energy ultrafast laser systems are based on AFS leading-edge fiber technology. They unite multiple main-amplifier channels using coherent combination, a technology which AFS has matured to an industrial grade. All essential parameters are software-controlled and can be tuned over a wide range, making them an extremely valuable tool for numerous application.

Lumibird manufactures a wide range of high power lasers thanks to its expertise in three key technologies: pulsed solid-state lasers (nanosecond range), CW and pulsed fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers, and laser diodes. Various application areas are addressed, in industry (manufacturing, lidar sensors), science (laboratories and universities), medical (ophthalmology) and defense.

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.

CNI high power lasers include both DPSS lasers and diode lasers. They are widely used in medical, scientific research, material processing and industrial applications. Available wavelengths are include 532 nm, 556 nm, 589 nm, 660 nm, 808 nm, 880 nm, 980 nm, 1064 nm, 1319 nm and others. The average output power of 532-nm green lasers can be up to 200 W, and the 1064-nm infrared lasers deliver up to 500 W.

SHIPS TODAY: AeroDIODE offers high-power laser diodes with up to 450 W output. Most models for 808 nm, 915 nm, 976 nm or 1064 nm are available as stock items or assembled with a turn-key high-power laser diode driver with air-cooled temperature regulation. Versions with a high-power optical fiber connector or with a 3-mm output collimator are available.

QPC Lasers manufactures diode lasers with the highest powers and brightness in the industry at wavelengths ranging from 780 to 2000 nm.

Full vertical integration from epitaxy through packaging allows us to offer standard and custom diode solutions in packages ranging from C-mounts to complete OEM light engines that provide performance without compromise. Features include Brightlock monolithically spectrally stabilized diodes for unmatched linewidth and spectral control.

At wavelengths between 3.9 and 9.7 μm, Alpes Lasers offers multiple high power Fabry-Pérot lasers up to 1.5 W. These Quantum Cascade Lasers have a minimum average power of 1 W and more than 9 W of peak power. Available in a collimated HHL package with a dedicated driver, these lasers can be used for free-space optical communications, energy deposition, illumination and IR countermeasures.

Frankfurt Laser Company offers fiber-coupled high-power diode laser systems with up to 300 W output power. Separate diode bars are also available.

Bright Solutions has different kinds of high-power lasers:

• the BDL and BFD fiber-coupled diode laser modules with up to 100 W CW output power
• the Vento sub-nanosecond MOPA lasers with pulse durations down to 500 ps, up to 200 kHz, up to 100 W average power at 1064 nm or 50 W at 532 nm, e.g. for LIDAR or PCB microprocessing
• the Aero high energy lasers with up to 200 mJ at 1064 nm, 100 mJ at 532 nm, for application e.g. in atmospheric LIDAR, LIBS or nonlinear spectroscopy

Our high-power solid state lasers push the word “high” a bit further. High energy per pulse (1 J), high repetition rate (300 Hz), high average power (300 W) and high peak power (30 kW) together in the big brother of the family. We can manufacture our high energy solid state laser solutions with Nd:YAG or Nd:YLF as active media and use frequency conversion to deliver unprecedented laser properties in IR, green and UV while increasing the most demanding applications’ throughput.
