1200W Diode laser

A 1200W diode laser is a high-power semiconductor laser system that emits coherent light through the stimulated emission of photons in a p-n junction diode. Operating typically in the near-infrared spectrum (e.g., 808 nm, 940 nm, or 980 nm), these lasers achieve high electrical-to-optical efficiency (up to 60%) and compact form factors compared to solid-state or gas lasers.
Key Characteristics:
High Power Output: Delivers continuous-wave (CW) or pulsed operation at 1200 watts, enabling applications requiring intense optical energy.
Wavelength Flexibility: Emission wavelengths are tailored for specific applications, such as:
Material processing (e.g., 940 nm for metal welding/cutting).
Medical therapy (e.g., 980 nm for tissue ablation or photocoagulation).
Efficiency & Reliability: Direct diode emission eliminates the need for complex pumping mechanisms, reducing maintenance and operational costs.
Beam Delivery: Often integrated with fiber optics for precise beam shaping and delivery to target areas.
Typical Applications:
Industrial: Laser welding, cladding, surface hardening, and additive manufacturing.
Medical: Surgical procedures (e.g., prostate enucleation, ophthalmology), and dermatology (e.g., hair removal).
Defense: Directed energy systems, target designation, and countermeasures.
Research: Pumping source for solid-state lasers (e.g., Nd:YAG) or spectroscopy.
Technical Specifications:
Power Stability: Typically ±1% over operating time.
Beam Quality: M² values vary (e.g., 10–100), optimized for application needs.
Cooling: Active water-cooling systems maintain thermal stability at high powers.
