40W / 30W 980nm High Brightness Single-Mode Laser Diode Bar on Passive Cu Block Cooler
The Bookham SPCxxC-980-01 high brightness single-mode laser diode bar on passive cooler series has been designed to provide the highest brightness and reliability required for collimated fiber laser pumping and 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 Cu block package providing very high reliability in CW and pulsed (1-Hz type) applications.
