Data Sheet
Preliminary
80W 9xxnm High Power Very High Brightness Laser
Diode Bar on Microchannel Cooler
VAC80C-9xx-01/02
The Bookham VAC80C-9xx-01/02 laser diode bar on
microchannel cooler series has been designed to provide
highest brightness and reliability required for industrial
applications. With the emission width only a third of
conventional laser diode bars, the optimized angular power
distribution is most suitable for applications requiring smallest
spot size or lowest fiber core diameter. The proprietary E2 front
mirror passivation process, developed at our Zurich site,
prevents Catastrophic Optical Damage (COD) to the laser diode
facet even at extremely high output powers. The laser diode
bars are mounted on an expansion matched submount onto a
water-cooled microchannel package providing very high
reliability in CW and pulsed (1-Hz type) applications.
Features:
• Mounted 3.6mm x 3.6mm laser diode bar
• Active microchannel cooler (water-cooled)
• 80W operating power
• Highly reliable single quantum well MBE structure
• Telecom grade AuSn mounting technology
• Standard wavelength at 915nm, 940nm, and 980nm
(others available on request)
• RoHS compliant
Applications:
• Solid-state and fiber laser pumping
• Direct applications such as material processing
• High-quality beam shaping applications
• Printing
• Medical
