Alfalight, Inc., an innovative manufacturer of highly efficient and reliable high-power diode lasers, today introduced the new AM6-915B family of laser pump diodes, which provide 10 W of 915 nm light output with a high brightness 105 micrometers, 0.15 or 0.22 NA fiber. The high-reliability single-emitter (SE) diode includes a thermistor for temperature monitoring, and is available in an uncooled, compact 6-pin industrial grade package that simplifies PCB mounting. More compact than competing devices, the high-power Alfalight pumps target cost-sensitive industrial markets including small continuous-wave (CW) lasers, small/low-cost pulsed lasers, and some midrange CW and small military systems.
“We are continuing to extend our experience with high-reliability industrial devices to deliver a 10 W, 915 nm device with both an exceptional uncooled lifetime and a small form factor,” said Ron Bechtold, vice president of sales and marketing at Alfalight. “This is an addition to the families of 9xx nm 10W devices that we are introducing through 2008, as we drive down the $/W ratio to meet industrial customer needs for greater value in high-reliability laser pump diodes.”
