A high-brightness, conduction-cooled, fiber-coupled diode laser module provides up to 40 W output power at 976 nm from a 100 µm fiber core with an NA <0.22. It is based on an electrically isolated, single diode bar package and measures 70 × 30 × 17 mm. The fiber is terminated with a standard SMA 905 connector or cleaved end.

PRESS RELEASE
Compact, High-Efficiency, 100µm Fiber-Coupled Module
Mainz, Germany, January 26, 2010 – DILAS, the diode laser company, has developed a high brightness, conduction-cooled fiber-coupled diode laser module based on diode laser bars that provides up to 40 watts output power from a 100-micron fiber core at a wavelength of 976nm with a numerical aperture of <0.22.
Ensuring high power, brightness and power efficiency, DILAS has achieved test results with wall-plug efficiency of greater than 40% at operating current.
The electrically isolated single-bar package with a small footprint is a key feature in this product’s architecture, measuring 70mm x 30mm x 17mm (L x W x H).
The laser power from the fiber-coupled module is delivered via a non-detachable fiber core which is terminated with a standard SMA 905 connector or cleaved fiber end. With excellent heat removal by direct thermal contact, this industrial package is ideally designed for a wide array of applications that range from fiber laser pumping to micro-materials processing to medical.
This product will be officially released Q3 of this year after going through DILAS’ release process to ensure highest quality and reliability.
