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

HPLDs are employed for application

  • 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 applications and markets of HPLD, DPS, and DL include:

  • materials processing
  • medical therapy
  • pre-press & printing
  • imaging
  • displays
  • communications (fiber amplifiers)
  • measurement
  • instrumentation.
