The Bookham LBA-02 macrochannel cooler based lateral laser

diode bar array series has been designed to provide the high

output power and high reliability required for side pumping of

Nd:YAG solid-state lasers. The proprietary E2 front mirror

passivation process, developed at our Zurich site, prevents

Catastrophic Optical Damage (COD) to the laser diode facet

even at extremely high output powers. The laser diode bars are

mounted on an expansion matched CuW submount onto a

water-cooled macrochannel package providing very high

reliability in CW and pulsed (1-Hz type) applications.

Features:

• Horizontally arranged laser diode bars

• Active macrochannel cooler (water-cooled)

• 20W operating power per bar

• Highly reliable single quantum well MBE structure

• Telecom-grade AuSn mounting technology

• Custom assembly options available

• RoHS compliant

Applications:

• Solid-state laser pumping

• Direct applications such as material processing

• Illumination
