LBA-01 806nm Microchannel Cooler Based
Lateral Laser Diode Bar Arrays

The Bookham LBA-01 microchannel 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 microchannel package providing very high reliability in CW and pulsed (1-Hz type) applications.

FEATUREs:
• Horizontally arranged laser diode bars
• Active microchannel cooler (water-cooled)
• 50W 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
