New Fiber-Coupled, Multi-Bar Module Delivers 500W from 400 µm Fiber
Mainz, Germany, January 27, 2009 - DILAS, the diode laser company, announces today the newest fiber-coupled, multi-bar module capable of delivering up to 500 watts output from a 400-micron fiber at 976nm.
DILAS' fiber-coupled, multi-bar modules lead the industry in brightness and power featuring a compact footprint and convenient aiming beam. These fiber-coupled, multi-bar modules deliver 500W through a cladding mode free QBH high-power 400µm core diameter fiber with a low numerical aperture of <0.2 and WPE of >35%. Packaged in up to 12-bar configurations, these designs are based on industry standard conductively-cooled bars, which are optically stacked and polarization coupled. The product requires only industrial water for cooling.
Achieving high brightness and high efficiency, this new module has demonstrated lifetime greater than 10,000 hours at 500W CW operating condition.
Custom wavelengths are available upon request. These fiber-coupled, multi-bar modules are ideal for direct diode application as well as fiber and solid-state laser pumping.
