6. Super High Power Array Laser Diodes
Super High Power Infrared Array Laser Diode Achieves 60 W Optical Power Output
Super high power infrared laser diodes are widely used in welding equipment, all types of marking equipment, and as the pumping light source for YAG lasers. The evolution of this continually advancing industrial equipment knows no bounds, and requires super high power laser diodes with even higher reliability. Sony continues to develop even higher output and even higher performance laser diodes.
Newly-Developed Water Cooled Heat Sink Provides High Heat Removal Efficiency
Increasing the power even further in array laser diodes results in the generation of more heat as well. This generated heat determines the upper limit of optical power output of the device and can reduce reliability. To resolve this problem Sony developed a new heat sink that is not a conventional passive heat sink, but rather is a water cooled design with high heat removal capacity. Using this water cooled heat sink to remove heat guarantees high reliability even at the optical power output of 60 W.
The product also features greatly improved optical power output dependence of wavelength. These features can provide optimal pumping light source for YAG lasers.
Super High Power Laser Diodes with High Reliability
The newly-developed product adopts the same stripe structure as the proven high-reliability, low operating current products. Additional improvements make this new device provide a 60 W optical power output. The package adopts a newly-developed water cooled heat sink and assures even higher reliability.
Sony can also respond to customer needs for module versions of this device.
Support for Wavelength Selection
This device is available in the pumping YAG laser wavelength of 808 ± 3 nm as a general-purpose product. Sony can also respond to customer needs for other infrared wavelengths.
