6 Dilas QCW products Available wavelength All Dilas wavelength (635nm to 2300nm) Typical pulse duration 100µs to milliseconds Peak power Up to 500W per bar (depending on fill factor and wavelength) Duty cycle <2-3% (typical) Fiber coupling 800um fiber core bars optimized for high peak power bars not suited for high brightness applications due to beam quality 6
7 Dilas high power stacks Available wavelength Average power All Dilas wavelength (450nm to 3200nm) Up to 200W per bar (depending on fill factor and wavelength) Cooling Micro channels Operating mode CW or pulsed Highest power per package size Lowest thermal resistance Maximum CW power per bar 7
8 Motivation / Applications Narrow line Applications High Energy Lasers (DPAL) Medical diagnostics Requirements Extremely narrow spectral line width ( 0.1nm) Tight tolerance of center wavelength (± 0.05nm) High optical power ( 100W/bar) 8
9 Motivation Why DPALs? Potential to achieve very high output powers in NIR spectral region Laser diode array Gas (vapor) laser gain medium Laser output beam High power conversion efficiency High output power Poor beam quality No stress birefringence No beam distortions by thermal effects No stress fractures No optical damages (i.e. in laser fibers) Reduced thermal focussing High average output power High beam quality Single aperture power scaling 9
10 Motivation Why DPALs? Further advantages of DPALs: Scalability to high power (cell size, pump power) Low quantum defect (reduction of waste heat) Excellent thermal management Lightweight packaging Closed cells (no vacuum pumping or discharge of chemicals) Directed energy& power beaming applications: Processing of photovoltaic cells Underwater communication Power supply for space stations or propulsion systems Laser weapons 10

13 Wavelengths locking with VBGs Laser Bar FAC lens SAC lens Feedback VBG VBG provides selective feedback Effective gain increased within selected wavelength range Critical design parameters (VBG): Index contrast Reflectivity / Diffraction Eff. Thickness Uniformity (in VBG and between VBGs) Critical design parameters (Diode) Epitaxy design-active region gain Cavity length Facet reflectivity VBG center wavelength is temperature dependent (3pm/ C) 13
14 Spectral width of ensemble Design challenge Center wavelength of VBG varies in manufacturing Power differences between bars cause further differences in central wavelength Individual bar spectra don t usually exactly overlap Spectral line width of ensemble broadens Solution Mount resistive heater to VBGs Adjust temperature of each VBG individually to overlap bar spectra Minimize spectral line width Use heaters to shift center wavelength of ensemble Avoid active cooling due to heat rejection complexities 14
