Diode lasers don't need cooling
Pacer
AMx-808BW
Laser diodes are ideal for military and commercial applications requiring uncooled wide-temperature-range operation.
High-efficiency 808nm single-emitter diode lasers from Alfalight do not require any cooling or external components to maintain wavelength, and this reduces their energy consumption by up to three times compared with thermally controlled pump lasers.
These laser diodes are ideal for military and commercial applications requiring uncooled wide-temperature-range operation, as well as unique, emerging applications demanding a narrow, stable pump wavelength such as diode-pumped alkali lasers and thulium-doped fibre lasers.
The AMx-808BW range is a drop-in performance upgrade for customers using traditional 808nm single-emitter pumps.
Packaging and handling are identical, and the devices provide significantly higher pump absorption (87%) in Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 microlasers.
These devices offer a wide uncooled operating range for most solid-state laser configurations.
The new diode lasers feature wavelength stabilisation technology (WST) and have a monolithic grating integrated directly onto the semiconductor chip itself.
The grating-defined wavelength is stable relative to changes in temperature and drive current, while maintaining a narrow spectral width.
They offer peak power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 52%, a 30C wavelength locking range over their entire 0.2 to 2.5W output power, and a tight +/-1.5nm centre wavelength tolerance.
The AMx-808BW devices are available from Pacer International in a 2W fibre-coupled 6-pin package, and 2.5W chip-on-carrier C-mount and Q-mount options.
