nLight, a manufacturer of high-power semiconductor lasers, has released a near-infrared (NIR) diode laser that emits 3W continuous-wave (CW) power from a single, 100-micron broad area emitter. Available in a C-Mount or High Heat Load (HHL) package, the high-brightness, 808-nm, multimode diode laser is a pump source for solid-state lasers, and heat or illumination source for medical and industrial applications.
Has an operating current of 2.8A and compliance voltage of 1.85V. Beam divergence is <36 degrees by <10 degrees, FWHM. As an added feature, nLight can include an AR-coated cylinder lens to collimate the fast-axis to <2 degrees, FWHM, with >95% power transmission.
