Intense announces Series 8000 793nm single and multi-emitter pump modules

Intense Inc., North Brunswick, N.J., has announced the release of a 10 W version of the Series 8000 793nm high brightness laser pump modules.

The new medium power pump delivers 10 W of output power from a 105 micron core fiber, 0.22 numerical aperture. The compact, 10 W module is designed specifically for use as a pump source for Thulium and Holmium pulsed laser systems, which are seeing increased use in defense and medical applications.

The Series 8000 793nm fiber coupled packages provide robust, cost effective, and compact solutions for pumping applications with power requirements in the 10 W range. With this release, the high power chip technology of the Series 8000 793nm is now available in fiber coupled single emitters at 4.5 W, as well as compact, multi emitter, high brightness, fiber coupled 10 W and 20 W modules.

The entire Series 8000 793 nm family of pump lasers is based on Intense's next generation of 793nm single emitter chips that incorporate narrow beam divergence and Intense's patented quantum well intermixing (qwi) technology to maximize power, brightness, and reliability.

The 793 nm fiber coupled packages come standard with 105 μ x 0.22 NA fibers; 0.15 NA fiber options are available on request. The same high performance 793nm chip technology is offered in a variety of free space configurations with FAC options.
