Information on the 2003 / 2006 Report on
High Power Laser Diodes and Diode-Based Lasers
The Optech Consulting market and technology report
High Power Laser Diodes and Diode-Based Lasers
analyses markets and technologies for High Power Laser Diodes, Diode-Pumped Lasers, and Diode Lasers.
Background to the Report
High Power Laser Diodes (HPLD) comprise laser diodes with a power of 100 mW and above.
HPLD markets comprise a wide range of products:
- HPLD of various wavelengths and mode characteristics
- Single stripe HPLD
- HPLD bars
- Surface emitting HPLD
- Fiber-coupled HPLD
HPLD can be employed for applications
- direct (single LD, stacks)
- integrated into Diode Lasers (DL)
- integrated into Diode-Pumped Solid State Lasers (DPS): rod type, fiber type, disk type; with various wavelengths, pulse characteristics, and mode characteristics
Major markets of HPLD, DPS, and DL include:
- materials processing
- medical therapy
- pre-press & printing
- imaging
- displays
- communications (fiber amplifiers)
- measurement
- instrumentation.
