Bookham, Inc. a provider of optical components, modules and subsystems, further extended its high power laser diode portfolio to the industrial and defense markets at Photonics West.

Building on the success of its high power laser diode bars and single emitters, Bookham unveiled a range of high performance, integrated solutions, such as vertical stacks, linear arrays, and fiber-pigtailed modules:

  • A 2.4kW fast axis collimated 9xxnm vertical stack based on the Bookham 120W high-power bars, which enables higher powers while using fewer bars on microchannel coolers. The product facilitates the scaling-up of disk laser power and provides benefits for direct diode applications.

  • A range of linear bar array solutions (at 120, 200 and 300W) for the pumping of Nd:YAG lasers.

  • A 50W standard 30 percent fill factor and 50W high brightness 20 percent fill factor 9xxnm bars with fast axis collimation, which provide tailored brightness solutions for collimation and fiber coupling requirements.

  • A 30W maxichip from an 800mm emitting area for high brightness beam shaping or direct coupling into a standard 800 mm fiber without additional optics.

  • A 7W high power single emitter modules for various fiber laser applications.
