Diode laser maker DILAS of Mainz, Germany has launched a fiber-coupled, multi-bar diode laser module capable of delivering up to 6kW output at a wavelength mix of 9xxnm through a 1000μm, 0.22NA fiber. The micro-channel-cooled unit combines multi-kW fiber-coupled diode laser power with a small footprint and high efficiency. The 19-inch rack-mountable unit is designed to meet the requirements for OEM customers and system integrators.
The fiber-coupled, multi-bar diode laser module is designed as a beam source without an integrated power supply and also without a cooling unit, allowing system integrators a deep integration into their machine. The module is equipped with internal electronic sensor elements that monitor the key parameters such as humidity, temperature, operating current and other parameters, to ensure safe operation of the unit. The unit is also equipped with a pilot beam for positioning purposes.
Typical applications are cladding, brazing, hardening and heat conduction welding. With its fiber interface based on a QD fiber connector, it can be combined with many commercially available processing optics.
