400W Laser, Pulsed Stacked Array

High Power Laser Diode Stack from Quantel:

These lasers can be built from 1 to 19 diode bars with output powers of 60 Watts QCW to 400 Watts QCW. These laser diode bar arrays benefit from a fully mastered technology with the appropriate design for improved efficiency and reliable operation. The packaging and heat-sink have been optimized to reduce the overall thermal resistance. They are assembled in a compact and rugged package,using AuSn hard solder. This allows easy connection to a heat exchanger for thermal control. This technology of stacks has been successfully submitted to specific environmental tests requested for space missions (long life-tests,
endurance under vacuum, irradiations) with NASA and ESA. These stacks are ideal for various severe condition applications including the pumping of rods or slabs in solid state lasers, illuminators for aerospace applications, industrial applications and space applications.
