Stacked arrays provide extremely high brightness

A Newport Spectra-Physics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 25, 2008

Active water cooling enables the low thermal resistance needed to drive the high power levels required to achieve extremely high brightness.

Newport's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division has released ProLite Xt Cygnus fibre-coupled stacked arrays.

One version provides more than 200W of output power from a 200m fibre.

Another version provides 400W from a 400m fibre.

The Cygnus series is the highest brightness fibre coupled diode solution available today.

Michael Atchley, Product Marketing Manager for the Spectra-Physics Lasers Division, said, "Delivering reliable performance across a variety of wavelengths, they are an excellent choice for advanced fibre laser pumping, direct materials processing and applications in the aerospace, defence and homeland security market".

The ProLite Xt Cygnus lasers are available at wavelengths of 915, 940 and 980nm.

Active water cooling enables the low thermal resistance needed to drive the high power levels required to achieve extremely high brightness.

In addition, the Cygnus series leverages technical advancements in individual device design and beam shaping to provide a brightness of more than 4MW/cm2-sr.

The field-serviceable fibre design maximises operational time for fibre pumping and other applications that require the highest performance.
