Opto Power
Corporation has also achieved the highest power density ever from a single,
monolithic diode laser array at 808 nm. In this case, over 115 watts of CW
optical power (at 125 amps drive current) was obtained from a device with an
emitting aperture of only 2600 µm (26% fill factor). This is the highest output
power yet produced from such low fill factor array. Once again, the laser was
mounted on an Opto Power Corporation Monsoon heat sink, and operated with a
coolant temperature of 20°C.
"Opto Power Corporation is committed to remaining the technology leader in
high power diode laser technology," states Rushi Patel, Vice President of
Engineering. "These most recent, record breaking results clearly
demonstrate the capabilities of the materials and heatsinks used in Opto Power |
