Reasons for laser diode stacking
Thus diode stacks are useful for optical pumping of solid state lasers, highly directed energy, medical applications, and materials processing. Diode lasers are highly versatile and their power is easily scaled from single emitters to laser diode bars to stacks of bars. Their main advantages include: compact size, scalable power up to the multi-kW range. Powers from 100 W/bar to 1 kW/bar with options on number of bars per stack, bar-to-bar pitch and.
