Laser Type: VCSEL

A Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is a type of semiconductor laser diode that emits light vertically from the surface of the fabricated chip, unlike traditional edge-emitting lasers that emit light from the edge. This unique structure involves several layers, including an active region where light is generated, sandwiched between two highly reflective mirrors known as Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs). These DBRs reflect the light back and forth through the active region, amplifying it before it exits perpendicularly from the surface of the chip.

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.
