Laser Diode Stack Optimized for Industrial Integration and Performance

This horizontal laser diode stack is engineered for easy integration into compact, high-power industrial and scientific laser systems. Its horizontal configuration, consisting of three 200W bars, provides a high-brightness, 600W source at the 940nm wavelength, a crucial wavelength for fiber laser pumping and direct material processing applications.

At the heart of this laser diode stack is a high-efficiency microchannel cooling architecture. This advanced thermal management system ensures low thermal resistance and excellent temperature uniformity across the bars, which is critical for maintaining stable power output, a narrow spectral bandwidth, and achieving a long operational lifetime of the diode stack. With its robust construction and high reliability, this laser diode stack is an ideal building block for demanding OEM applications.

Customization & OEM Integration

This horizontal diode stack is designed for OEM applications and can be customized. Parameters like wavelength, bar-to-bar pitch, and mechanical footprint can be adjusted for volume orders. Please contact our engineering team to discuss a custom solution tailored to your system’s requirements.

Critical Operating Guidelines

  • Cooling: This is a microchannel-cooled device. Operation requires a stable supply of high-purity deionized water (2.5±0.5µS/cm, pH 5.5-8) at the specified flow rate (0.25-0.33 L/min/bar) and pressure (<5 Bar). Failure to meet these water quality and flow specifications will lead to rapid device degradation and failure.
  • Power Supply/Diode Driver: A stable, constant-current (CC) laser diode driver is mandatory. Do not use a generic voltage power supply, as current surges or excessive ripple can cause catastrophic optical damage (COD) to the laser facets. You can explore compatible solutions in our range of high-power laser diode drivers.
  • Handling: The device is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Proper ESD precautions, including the use of wrist straps and grounded work surfaces, must be followed at all times during handling and integration.

Mechanical & Thermal Interface

Ensure the device is mounted on a flat, thermally conductive surface to guarantee efficient heat transfer. When connecting the electrical terminals (P/N), do not exceed the recommended torque of 80 Ncm to avoid damaging the housing.

Safety Information

This is a high-power Class 4 laser device emitting invisible infrared radiation. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation. All personnel must wear appropriate laser safety goggles rated for the 940nm wavelength range when the device is active.

What are the cooling water quality requirements for this laser diode stack?

To prevent electrochemical corrosion and microchannel clogging, we strictly require deionized water with a conductivity of 2.5±0.5 µS/cm, a pH between 5.5 and 8.0, and filtration particles of ≤5µm.

What are the required water flow rate and pressure limits?

To ensure uniform heat dissipation across the bars, a flow rate of 0.25–0.33 L/min per bar is required. Maximum water pressure must be maintained at below 5 bar to prevent structural damage to the micro-channel cooler.

What type of power supply should I use to drive this stack?

A precision, low-ripple constant-current (CC) laser diode driver is mandatory. Because this stack draws high operating current (~215A), we recommend a driver with soft-start functionality and hardware interlocks to prevent catastrophic optical damage (COD) from surge currents.

For suitable power solutions, you can explore our high-current laser diode drivers here.

What is the acceptable operating temperature range?

We recommend a cooling water temperature setpoint of 25°C. While the permissible operating range is 22°C to 28°C, precise temperature regulation is advised to maintain central wavelength stability and bandwidth.

Does this horizontal stack include Fast Axis Collimation (FAC)?

The specifications in the table include Fast Axis Collimation (FAC) with a divergence of 7 mrad. Should your application require further beam shaping or Slow Axis Collimation, please contact our engineering team to discuss custom optical configurations.

Can this horizontal stack be configured for different wavelengths?

Yes, central wavelengths in the 915nm–980nm range can be accommodated for OEM and volume orders. Emitter pitch, bar count, and mechanical mounting points are also highly customizable to suit your system requirements.

Do you need a custom diode stacks for your application?

We offer custom laser diode stacks according to your needs, either high-power or low-power versions, specific wavelengths and power-levels. To discuss your custom laser diode needs, you can contact us by sending an email or using the contact form.
