Princeton Optronics Introduces 40W VCSEL Array at 1064nm for medical applications

February 16, 2008

 

Princeton Optronics Inc. introduces high-power (40W CW), thermally stable, back reflection immune 1064nm semiconductor laser (PO-CS1-40-W1064) based on the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) technology. The device is composed of a 2-D planar VCSEL array mounted on a high thermal conductivity submount. It produces 40W output power in CW mode, with a narrow spectral width (~0.8nm), thermally stable emission wavelength (0.06nm/K), and low beam divergence (NA~0.14). The device is immune to back-reflections and offers unprecedented reliability since it is not subject to catastrophic optical damage (COD). The device can also be operated in QCW or short-pulsed (<20ns) mode. Such laser is ideally suited for medical applications, and a variation of this array (consisting of single mode devices) can be used for frequency doubling. Yet another variation of this array with microlenses mounted on it, has a very narrow beam divergence of 2 deg (full angle).
Princeton Optronics is a manufacturer of high power VCSEL arrays at different wavelengths and has a line of products for many applications.
