Diode Lasers

A Unique Combination of Power and Reliability

JDSU is leading the commercial laser industry's transition to "telecom-grade" diode laser products. Our diverse portfolio of near infrared diode lasers offers predictable reliability with at least 100,000 hours mean-time-before-failure (MTBF) while delivering high brightness at competitive price points.

As one of the world's largest vendors of high power diode lasers, JDSU is at the forefront of introducing high performance technology into a wide variety of applications including optical pumping of fiber and solid-state lasers, material processing, thermal exposure, illumination, ophthalmology, medical, image recording, printing, spectral analysis, and optical data storage.

Direct Diode Subsystems

The JDSU direct diode laser subsystem (IDL Series) provides up to 100 W of multi-mode output. This output provides unprecedented top-hat beam uniformity providing accurate beam containment and minimizing thermal damage in plastic welding applications.

IDL Series lasers incorporate JDSU diode lasers, which set the industry standard for reliability and lifetime, and which are unaffected by power cycling. These lasers come complete with heatsink and fan, power supply, and control electronics. A key benefit of these lasers is their compact size and fiber delivery, which allow easy placement and integration. They are simple to operate and require only standard wall plug power and direct air cooling.

The IDL is well-suited for selective soldering, plastic welding, and epoxy curing.
