Lumics launches 300W laser for industrial applications and extends Med-Laser to 30-40W

Lumics GmbH of Berlin, Germany, which makes single-emitter diode lasers (single- and multi-mode) as well as systems for the telecom, materials processing and medical markets, has launched a 300W laser emitting at 9xx nm wavelengths, with a robust laser head designed to provide flexibility for various heavy-duty industrial applications such as welding, soldering or cutting.

The laser is based on individual, hermetically sealed, single-emitter diode lasers packed in an industrial sealed housing on a small footprint, for integrated systems or machines. The overall design is fiber based, involving no free-space optics. Besides the benefit of the ultra-long diode lifetime, there are no epoxy-glued elements to degrade laser performance.

The laser is actively cooled by tap water. No micro-channels (for deionized water) are necessary. A red pilot beam, monitor diodes and thermistors provide all necessary process feedback information. The output fiber is 800µm in diameter and terminated by a high-power connector.

Lumics extends medical laser module family to 30W and 40W

Lumics has also followed last November’s launch of its 10W 808nm and 980nm Med-Laser with a second wave of medical laser modules with power outputs of 30W and 40W at wavelengths of 808, 940 and 980nm. The firm says that the new lasers should open up new opportunities for OEM clients and their customers in dental, dermatological, veterinary, and health applications.

As in the medical laser module, the new higher-power lasers are fully equipped with a thermistor, monitor photodiodes, output fiber detector, and red pilot beam (as required by law). The form factor is small (fitting into portable units) and hermetically sealed.

The fiber output can be chosen between 200µm and 400µm, with a connector of the customer’s choice.

Lumics also plans to introduce a 70W version of the laser module later this year.
