Small laser drives down system costs

The Orion diode laser's small footprint and low thermal load help ensure maximum design flexibility for commercial laser systems

Newport's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division has added the Orion diode laser to its ProLite Xt family.

The high-brightness fibre-coupled diode uses a "mini-bar" concept to deliver more than 20W output from a 105m fibre.

The Orion diode laser's small footprint and low thermal load help ensure maximum design flexibility for commercial laser systems in the industrial manufacturing and life and health science markets.

Michael Atchley, Product Marketing Manager for Newport's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division said "Our new Orion platform uses multiple single emitters to create a mini-bar concept that ensures maximum reliability".

"This design, combined with optimised beamshaping, provides the brightest source to date for commercial fibre lasers".

The Orion diode laser solution features a compact and user-friendly platform that is easily integrated into a range of lasers systems.

It is available at the 915, 940 and 980nm wavelengths.

Atchley said "We believe that the Orion laser is an attractive solution for fibre lasers for two main reasons - to increase output power or to drive down system costs by requiring fewer diodes to pump the lasers".
