nLight Launches Line of High-Brightness Single-Emitter Diode Lasers
VANCOUVER, Wash., February 28, 2005 - nLight, a leading manufacturer of high-power diode lasers, introduces a line of high-brightness, single-emitter, multimode diode lasers. Packaged on an industry-recognized C-mount package, these lasers are available in operating wavelengths from 635 nm to 1600 nm and output powers from 0.5W to 5W, continuous-wave (CW). Reliable and compact, these easy-to-integrate industry-standard lasers are appropriate for pumping diode-pumped solid-state lasers, materials processing and a variety of medical, graphic arts and illumination applications.
"Our C-mount lasers provide not only high-power but also industry-leading brightness in a range of wavelengths from an industry-recognized package, making them ideal for integration into virtually any laser-based application," said Merrill Apter, nLight vice president of sales and marketing. "While typical competitors' products feature 10- to 20-milliwatts per micron front facet power density, we are producing 25- to 30-milliwatts per micron power density. This allows us to build products that generate, from a 200-micron broad area emitter, up to 5 watts, continuous-wave at 808-nm."
As an added feature nLight can provide a fast axis-collimating lens, which allows in excess of 95% power transmission and collimates the fast axis down to <0.5 degrees, FWHM
Noteworthy in the line are 5W NIR and 0.5W visible products. nLight's 5W device is a 200-micron broad area emitter at 808 nm. The device's operating current is 5000 mA; compliance voltage is 1.95V. It features a spectral width of <2 nm, FWHM, and beam divergence of <36 degrees by <10 degrees, FWHM. nLight's 0.5W device is a 150-micron broad area emitter at 635 nm. The 0.5W laser features a 1000 mA operating current and compliance voltage of 2.2V. Beam divergence is <42 degrees by <10 degrees, FWHM. All feature high power conversion efficiency.
nLight's C-mounts are based on the company's proprietary MOCVD-grown laser structure, which results in highly reliable, long lifetime products.
