Vertical Diode Laser Stack

[GoRdOn_B]

"The conduction-cooled vertical stacks are available in 1-, 7- and 8-bar configurations with up to 4% duty cycle at 200 W per bar. :drool: Under the toughest environments, the advanced packaging and high-precision optic mounting give the user full control and enable fast-axis stack divergence as low as 6 mrad."

Cant wait till we can get one of these in a hand held

Uhhhh -- Are you selling this? What nM etc ??
Or you stroking yourself?

I'm going with the latter.. and it's really not the worst diode porn I've ever seen..

Or you stroking yourself?

Yes he is, VERY hard.

I had some of those a while back, They are used as flash units for tollbooth cameras, not very coherent, and the design severely limits power output to about 150W average power. In short a glorified heat lamp.


The good ones to get are the kind with 10x 60W CW 100W QCW coherent bars and water cooling These ones are capable for up to 600W CW and pulsed power peaking up to 1.2KW They are used for heat treating machines.

99% of the time these are used for high speed heating applications where wavelength does not matter, sure, the nominal is 808nm, but you have 19-152 individual diodes, each will have it's own wavelength. You really don't use these stacks for optical pumping.

I think I have one of the coherent pulse life stacks laying around here somewhere, it's a 14 bar 1.4kW pulsed setup.
