nLIGHT introduced the multi-mode diode laser. This new addition to the element® diode laser portfolio emits 200 W from a 105 µm fiber, 0.15 NA. In only one year, nLIGHT’s new element® surpassed their own previous record for the fiber laser pump with over a 25% increase in power and brightness. The brightness of element® pumps has revolutionized the architecture of high power fiber laser and direct diode systems. Based on cascaded single-emitter laser diodes, high power fiber coupling and simplified packaging. Available at wavelengths from 793 nm to 976 nm, and power levels up to 220 W.
