nLIGHT is World Leader in High-Power, High-Reliability Red Diode Lasers

Vancouver, WA  January 24, 2006

nLIGHT, the leading manufacturer of high-power semiconductor lasers, is featuring its portfolio of high power red diode lasers at 635 nm, 665 nm, 680 nm and 690 nm at Photonics West, booth #2033, January 24-26, 2006, in San Jose, CA.  

Available in single-stripe conduction-cooled “CS” package bars, micro-channel water-cooled Cascades™, c-Mount or high heat load (HHL) package, these easy-to-integrate, high-power, high-brightness and high-reliability multimode diode lasers are ideal for display, medical, and entertainment applications.

“nLIGHT is working in close partnership with its customers to drive high-power red diode laser roadmaps to enable our customers to take their products to the next level,” commented Joe DeBartolo, nLIGHT VP of Sales and Marketing.

nLIGHT’s arrays are packaged on industry-standard conduction-cooled “CS” packages and on the micro-channel water-cooled Cascades™ platform. nLIGHT offers up to 10 W CW on the CS Package and up to 15 W CW on Cascades™. For higher output powers, Cascades™ packages can be stacked either horizontally or vertically, to a maximum of 20 bars high or 6 bars across. nLIGHT’s arrays offer low beam divergence and narrow spectral bandwidth. Moreover, the company’s proprietary fast-axis lensing capability can further improve bar brightness.

nLIGHT’s 635 nm single emitters on c-Mount or HHL package are rated up to 0.5 W. The company’s 665 nm, 680 nm and 690 nm single emitter products are rated to 1 W. Custom device packages and optics are available for volume applications.

nLIGHT’s high-power single emitter diode lasers are based on their BrightLife™ semi-conductor laser technology resulting in high power, highly reliable long lifetime products.
