Intense launches guide for specifying custom high-power laser diodes

Laser manufacturer Intense Ltd of Glasgow, Scotland, UK has made available its ‘Guide to Custom High Power Laser Diodes’ as part of its ‘How to Select Series’. The free guide is designed to help product designers understand the costs and technical issues involved in customizing diodes.

The guide provides insights, technology tips, and reference materials for specifying custom lasers, including a discussion of spatial characteristics and the advantages of active versus passive temperature control. Also included is a white paper on quantum well intermixing (QWI) technology and its ability to deliver superior brightness, longer lifetimes, and increased reliability, the firm claims.

“Finding the right laser diode for a specific application can be a challenging and complicated process,” says Chris Baker, group VP sales & marketing. “The project may require custom or specialized wafer growth, certain spectral characteristics, packaging, budgetary and environmental considerations. This is especially true when a buyer has

unique requirements that fall outside of standard wavelengths and power ranges,” he adds.
