BAC50C-806-02

The Bookham BAC50C-806-02 laser bar on microchannel cooler series has been designed to provide the high output power and high reliability required for both solid-state laser pumping and direct applications. 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 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.
