Broad-Area Lasers (BA)
Broad-area (BA) lasers mounted on C-mounts and submounts are available in various aperture sizes to meet the diverse requirements of multiple applications. Both configurations ensure high output power, reliable operation, and optimal performance through efficient heat dissipation—from the C-mount or submount to the heatsink—and a clean operational environment. The C-mount package, known for its ease of mounting and excellent thermal contact, is particularly suited for high-power applications due to its robust thermal efficiency. Similarly, submounts offer a cost-effective solution while maintaining high output power and reliable performance, making them practical for various industries.
The versatility of these mounting options, coupled with the ability to customize aperture sizes and cavity lengths, provides the flexibility needed to tailor BA lasers for specific applications.
Key features of broad-area laser diodes on C-mounts and submounts:
- Multimode Operation: BA lasers serve as multimode light sources.
- High Output Power: Capable of producing optical power up to 15W from a single emitter.
- Variety in Aperture Sizes and Cavity Lengths: Available in different aperture sizes and cavity lengths to cater to specific application needs.
