It’s official — the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has installed the highest peak power laser diode arrays in the world. Altogether, the new system will represent a peak power of 3.2 megawatts ...

The laser module is one of the least reliable components in such a system. For that reason, it remains in a convenient pluggable form, enabling easy and inexpensive replacement. If designers were to ...

With the swift progression in semiconductor laser theories, materials, fabrication processes, and packaging techniques, semiconductor lasers have seen significant enhancements in power, efficiency, ...

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays represent a pivotal advancement in semiconductor laser technology. These devices emit light perpendicular to the wafer surface, offering benefits ...

Efficient 1.5 W CW and 9 mJ quasi-CW TEM00 mode operation of a compact diode-laser-pumped 2.94 µm Er:YAG laser Sheaumann has developed the first commercially available diode-laser-pumped continuously ...

Based on the company's Quantum Well Intermixing process, INSlam monolithic laser diode modules integrate from 10 to 100 individually addressable lasers on one chip for precise delivery of optical ...

Available with output powers of 100W CW and 200W QCW per bar. Vertical, horizontal, 2-D and donut shaped stacks available for all types of application needs.

The handheld laser pointers you can buy at office supplies stores are legally required to be no powerful than 0.005-watts, and most fall well below that threshold so they’re relatively safe to use.
