Laser pump diodes provide tight
bandwidth

A new series of laser pump diodes from Alfalight , the AM6-808B and AM6-808BW, provides 5 W of 808nm light output with a 200 um 0.15 NA fibre.

Alfalight's AM6-808B and AM6-808BW laser pump diodes provide 5W of 808nm light output with a 200um 0.15 NA fibre The new diodes extend recent Alfalight development advances achieved in the super high efficiency diode sources (SHEDS) program sponsored by DARPA

The high-reliability single-emitter (SE) laser diodes are available in a six-pin industrial grade package and include a temperature monitoring thermistor.

The diodes are available in both standard (808 +/-3nm) and integrated wavelength stabilisation technology (WST) (808 +/-1.5nm) versions.

Alfalight's WST enables tighter bandwidth and a narrow spectrum.

Wavelength locking allows uncooled operations over a wide temperature range.

Spectral shift for the standard version is 0.3nm/C, reduced to 0.07nm/C for the WST version.

Target markets for the small footprint device include microlasers for projection and display systems; small, high-reliability DPSS lasers; and small-form-factor green lasers.

"The rapid extension of our successful SHEDS and wavelength stabilisation technology programmes enables us to broaden our offering of innovative, high-efficiency, high-power commercial devices", said Ron Bechtold, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Alfalight.
