Laser Type: CW-Laser-Diodes

Continuous-wave (CW) laser diodes are semiconductor devices that emit a continuous, unbroken laser beam when supplied with a constant electrical current.

Laser Type: Laser-Diode

Laser diodes are characterized by their ability to produce coherent light, meaning the light waves are in phase with each other both temporally and spatially. The light emitted is monochromatic, having a narrow wavelength range, which means it is almost of a single color. Additionally, laser diodes emit light in a highly directional beam, unlike LEDs, which emit light in multiple directions.

Laser Type: VBG

Volume Bragg Grating (VBG) stabilized laser diodes use a volume Bragg grating to provide wavelength stabilization and spectral narrowing, ensuring the laser emits light at a precise and stable wavelength. This technology enhances spectral purity and temperature stability, making it ideal for applications requiring highly monochromatic light, such as spectroscopy, telecommunications, and lidar. The VBG reflects specific wavelengths back into the laser diode, forcing it to emit light with a very narrow linewidth and increased coherence length.

Wavelength Range: Visible

Visible lasers are highly valued for their high precision, brightness, and versatility. Their coherent and monochromatic nature makes them ideal for various precision applications. Green lasers, for example, are highly visible even at low power, beneficial for pointers and alignment tools. The range of wavelengths available allows for diverse applications across different fields, highlighting the importance of visible lasers in technology, medicine, and science.

Mode: multimode

Multimode lasers typically exhibit lower beam quality compared to their single-mode counterparts, characterized by higher beam divergence and lower spatial coherence. However, they can achieve higher output powers because they utilize the gain medium more efficiently by supporting multiple modes. This makes multimode lasers particularly useful in applications where high power is more critical than beam precision, such as cutting, welding, and certain medical treatments.
