DILAS launches 450nm visible blue diode laser system

Diode laser maker DILAS of Mainz, Germany is offering a diode laser system in the visible blue wavelength of 450nm, suitable for a range of applications in illumination and materials processing.

At 450nm, the new wavelength delivers both high power and brightness within the COMPACT platform, with up to 25W output power from a 200μm- or 400μm-diameter, 0.22 numerical aperture (NA) fiber. Specifically, DILAS says that the COMPACT series offers integrated, easy-to-use platforms of small physical size and facilitates ease of use and operational versatility. The system is equipped with a standard interface used for external control and does not require deionized (DI) water due to DILAS' passive cooling technology. DILAS also offers 19-inch rack-mountable cooling unit and fiber cables in various lengths.

Also, the 450nm modules are scalable up to 100W optical output power. Other applications include the illumination of phosphorous materials for the generation of white light or 'red material processing' (processing gold and copper). In addition, investigations are ongoing for applications in solid-state laser pumping such as Ti:sapphire lasers or praseodymium pumping at 444nm.

DILAS notes that the COMPACT platform has a field-proven track record, with hundreds of systems being installed worldwide.
