Request InfoSemiNex CorporationA 1550-nm single semiconductor diode laser manufactured by SemiNex Corp. delivers >4.5 W of power, as compared with the 0.8- to 1.5-W output of conventional diodes. Higher-power laser diodes enable laser systems that are smaller and more efficient. The company expects that its instrument will open new markets for laser devices and mass-market applications for infrared lasers. Applications include medical lasers for aesthetic procedures, free-space optical communications, lidar and pumping sources for diode-pumped solid-state lasers.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPromoted Content May 2022 IssueNew Wavelengths: 473 nm, 607 nm, 698 nmOxxius’ LaserBoxx family of DPSS laser / laser diode modules offers new wavelengths not readily available to the market: 473 nm (SLM) @ 50 mW, 607 nm @ 200 mW, and 698 nm @ 100 mW.
