30 Aug 2007 JDSU’s new 2495-L3 series laser diodes offer 4W of power at 808 nm - twice the available power from previous generations of fibre-coupled single-emitter laser diodes. Distributed by Photonic Solutions PLC in the UK, the 2495-L3 series exploits JDSU’s extensive telecommunications expertise to create a new laser diode chip with twice the reliable power and brightness. The 2495-L3 diode laser provides a brighter, more reliable optical pumping alternative to conventional multi-emitter (bar) diode lasers. In a typical configuration, several devices are bundled together to provide higher power. This arrangement provides much higher power per single fibre and the distributed architecture reduces the failure arising from a single point compared to that of bar technology.
A 4.5W version is available at 812 nm for applications with broad wavelength tolerances, such as medical and dental, whereas the 4W version at 808nm is an ideal source for pumping of solid-state materials such as Nd:YAG and Nd:Vanadate to generate 1064 nm output.
Photonic Solutions PLC is the UK distributor of the JDS Uniphase range of commercial laser products. JDS Uniphase has a diverse portfolio of near infrared diode lasers, please contact us for information on the full range of diode lasers.
