Fiber-Coupled Laser Diode System
Coherent Semiconductor Group
 

Coherent Semiconductor Group, Santa Clara, CA, introduces the F-Package System, which it describes as a standalone microprocessor-controlled fiber-coupled laser diode system in wavelengths from 650 to 980 nm. Delivering its power through a 0.5-m-long large-core optical fiber, the module consists of a single-stripe laser diode, rated from 0.2 to 2.5 W depending on the configuration, mounted on an active air-cooled heat sink with an optional thermoelectric cooler capable of regulating case temperature from 10-40o C, along with all necessary laser and TEC drive and control electronics. The F-Package system allows users to swap-out laser diodes at different wavelengths to support a wide variety of applications, including soldering, epoxy curing, medical therapeutics, graphic arts and pumping solid-state laser media.
