Unmounted high-power laser diodes
High-power laser bars for optical pumping and direct-diode-laser (DDL) applications in materials processing, medicine or sensing
Jenoptik has pioneered high-power diode laser technology and continues to provide industry-leading high-power broad-area edge-emitting diode lasers emitting in the 760 nm – 1060 nm spectral region.
We provide unmounted laser bars capable of operating in continuous-wave (cw), hard-pulse (hp)* long-pulse (lp)** and quasi-continuous-wave (qcw) up to 300 W (cw)/ 500 W (qcw) optical output power.
* hard-pulse refers to deep cycling from I = 0 to Imax @ e.g. on-times tON = 1 s and 50% duty cycle
** long-pulse refers to operation @ on-times tON ~ 5..100 ms and > 1% duty cycle

Laser Diodes
Correlating with the fill factor we distinguish three product groups for our 10 mm wide bars, each supporting particular applications and operating regimes:
- Low fill factor bars (typ. ≤ 30% fill factor) featuring low beam-parameter-product (BPP) suited for fiber coupling
- High-power bars (typ. 50% fill factor) for up to 300 W cw- and hard-pulse (hp) operation suited for optical pumping and direct-diode-laser (DDL) applications
- QCW bars (typ. FF > 65% fill factor): for up to 500 W qcw- and long-pulse (lp) operation suited for optical pumping and medical applications
For customers interested in broad-area single emitters, we selectively offer laser bars for cleaving into single emitters and qualification at customer site.
Epitaxial Wafers
Epitaxial wafers can be grown on 3’’, 4’’ or 6’’ GaAs-wafers depending on customer request using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)*.

Open heat sink diode lasers: single-laser-bar packages based on passively- or actively cooled heat sinks
Leveraging our proprietary heat sink & assembly technology in order to provide mounted diode lasers with industry leading performance
Three figures of merit - optical output power - electro-optical (EO) efficiency – and package lifetime - characterize the performance of diode lasers operating at a desired emission wavelength and operating mode.
The most critical part in diode laser selection is not optical output power but optical output power at a well-defined reliability point required by the application.
Whether you focus on maximizing optical power at the expense of lifetime or maximizing lifetime at de-rated optical power conditions - we will support you in making the right product selection.
We at Jenoptik have pioneered high-power diode laser assembly in high-volume manufacturing and have been one of the first companies to introduce AuSn-soldering in the field.
While still applying industry standard heat sink designs (CS, CT) and established assembly technologies based on In- or AuSn-soldering, we at Jenoptik are mainly focusing on leveraging our proprietary, cutting-edge heat sinking and die attach technologies within our double-side passively cooled packages CN, LS and LK in order to serve most advanced optical pumping schemes and direct-diode-laser (DDL) technology. Close exchange between our in-house fab and our laser assembly site allow to tailor the laser bars employed towards the specific heat sink technology and the desired operating mode to be applied.
Optional beam collimation using microlenses or optional beam shaping using diffractive optical elements (DOE) round up our open heat sink laser technology portfolio in order to match your optical interface.
Featuring up to 300 W optical output power with our latest open heat sink generation LK
Benefit from our industry leading open heat sink diode laser product technology LK to translate increased power per mounted laser bar into reduced complexity and thus reduced cost of ownership on the system level – may your application be in optical pumping or DDL technology.
Optical output power levels up to 300 W in cw- and even hard-pulse mode can be reached in the 9xx nm region by combining Jenoptik's state-of-the art laser bars with our latest innovation in die-mounting and assembly technology.
Product Offer
Wide range of products and reliable cooling
- passively cooled heat sinks, i.e. single-bar packages which conductively spread and transfer dissipated power to a baseplate before waste heat is ultimately removed, e.g. via tap water cooling of the baseplate
- actively cooled heat sinks i.e. single-bar packages which are directly flooded e.g. with deionized water in order to convectively remove the heat directly from the heat sink
Active cooling allows for narrow heat sink designs which still make this heat sink technology an attractive building-block for densily packed horizontal arrays serving e.g. side-pumping applications.

High-power diode laser stacks: actively- or passively cooled multi-laser-bar packages
Power scaling into the multikilowatt range for cw- and qcw-operation
Vertical stacking of individuals sub-mounts within multi-laser-bar packages offers a highly modular approach for power scaling well into the kW-range.
The modularity inherent in high-power diode laser arrays allows to flexibly scale-up a laser stack to the requested power level at a given center wavelength.
Vertical stacks are the diode laser package of choice for applications requiring primarily highest power levels.
Beam quality (beam-parameter-product, BPP) is optimized to the extent possible by applying lowest pitches (= distance between neighboring stacks) approaching 1,0 mm without compromising on cooling capacity of the submounts.
All our vertical stacks are tried & tested under application-specific conditions ranging from medical, industrial to mission-critical end use. Our proven hard-solder technology covers even the harshest environmental conditions.
Given the high modularity inherent in diode laser stack technology there is no one fits all solution.
Product Offer
Wide range of products and reliable cooling
QCW- and long-pulse operation are supported by our vertical stacks made up of CTE-matched submounts on Direct-Copper-Bonded (DCB) substrates. This type of vertical stack clearly offers several advantages:
- tap water or passive cooling of the DCB
- light-weight
- small footprint
- compact multi-stack arrangements offering additional power scaling - in integer numbers of stacks (multi-stack packages)
As an option, we additionally offer custom design multi-wavelength qcw-stacks for “color-mixing”.
CW-operation is supported by our microchannel-cooled packages (MCCP) which are actively cooled with deionized (DI) water. Best known-practices have been established with regard to microchannel designs, DI-water specification and cooling circuit maintenance in order to enable package-limited lifetimes in excess of 10.000 hrs - relevant for industrial applications.

Fiber-coupled diode laser modules
Our legacy products: single- or multi-laser-bar fiber coupled modules in a rugged OEM design
The advent and fast growth of fiber lasers has lead many diode laser manufacturers to apply single-emitters as the basic building-block for power scaling in fiber-coupled modules, since they enable coupling at high beam quality into 105 µm / NA 0.15 fibers as required for current fiber laser pumping schemes.
The bulk of our fiber-coupled diode laser modules are
- passively cooled: i.e. the module is mounted on e.g. tap-water cooled baseplate via thermally conductive foil
- compatible with 200/ 400 µm core/ NA 0.22 fibers
- operating up to 100W cw @ 808 and up to 150 W cw @ 940, 980 nm
The use of monolithic multi-emitter laser bars as well as monolithic optics (beam-twisters) make bar-based fiber coupled modules the most cost-effective solution for low-brightness DDL applications.
