VAC80C-9xx-01

The Bookham VAC80C-9xx-01/02 laser diode bar on microchannel cooler series has been designed to provide highest brightness and reliability required for industrial applications. With the emission width only a third of conventional laser diode bars, the optimized angular power distribution is most suitable for applications requiring smallest spot size or lowest fiber core diameter. The proprietary E2 front mirror passivation process, developed at our Zurich site,prevents Catastrophic Optical Damage (COD) to the laser diode facet even at extremely high output powers. The laser diode bars are mounted on an expansion matched submount onto a water-cooled microchannel package providing very high
reliability in CW and pulsed (1-Hz type) applications.
