Product Overview:

1064nm, 1W Pulsed High Power Pump and Seed Laser Diodes:

The 1064 CHP high power single-mode laser module is a pump source designed for both pulsed and CW fiber laser applications that requires operating wavelengths in the 1050-1070nm range. These fiber pigtailed seed and pump lasers are offered with a Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) pigtail. They incorporate a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), a precision NTC thermistor and a back-facet monitoring photodiode. These modules provide excellent stability with both time and temperature. Key features of the pump and seed lasers include epoxy free design inside the butterfly module for long term reliability. They offer output power up to 500mW CW. Key features also include high polarization extinction ration, short pulse operation of 30ns-500ns and a MTTF of over 100,000 hours.

Key applications include fiber Lasers, pumping and printing applications, and frequency-doubling applications.

Important Notes on Operating Laser Diodes:
Electrical Operation: Operating a laser diode above the maximum ratings shown on the data sheet even for very short periods of time can damage the laser diode or reduce its lifetime. They should be electrically biased with a "laser diode driver" class current supply with low electrical noise and protection against voltage and current surges. Laser diodes are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Proper ESD precautions must be taken.

Mounting and Temperature Control: In order to maintain the lifetime of a laser diode, proper heat management is essential. Due to the design of the laser diode, heat is typically dissipated only through the base plate of the diode‘s package. A proper heat conducting interconnection between the diodes base plate and the heat sink must be maintained. Some devices require the use of a thermo-electric temperature controller (TEC controller) to remove the heat from the laser and stabilize the temperature.
