Buying Semiconductor Lasers

Top-level product category: lasers and laser amplifiers

More general product categories: lasers

More specific product categories: diode lasers, laser diodes, quantum cascade lasers, surface-emitting semiconductor lasers

Semiconductor lasers encompass various types, with laser diodes being the most common. Additionally, there are optically pumped surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) and quantum cascade lasers, each offering unique advantages for specific applications. These lasers are integral to modern photonics, providing high efficiency and versatility for communications, sensing, and industrial processes.

SHIPS TODAY: AeroDIODE offers fiber-coupled laser diodes between 520 nm and 1650 nm as stock items or associated with a CW laser diode driver 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 500 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 300 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.
