Diode Lasers
Single Bar Diode Laser
Conduction-cooled single bars are well introduced in the market and are an industry standard in terms of size and footprint. At Coherent, these laser bars are available in a very wide range of wavelengths and powers, with optional beam shaping such as fast-axis collimation, both-axis collimation, or even further focused to a defined spot size. Also available are options such as spectral locking and line narrowing, using Volume Bragg Gratings. (VBG)
