80W 9xx nm High Power Laser Diode Bar on Microchannel Cooler
The Bookham BAC80C-9xx-01/02 50% fill factor laser diode bar on microchannel cooler series has been designed to provide the high brightness and reliability required for pumping solid-state and fibre lasers, and for direct applications. 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 CuW submount onto a water-cooled microchannel package providing very high reliability in CW and pulsed (1-Hz type) applications.
