If you think that today’s fiber-lasers, OPSLs and DPSSLs are cumbersome and suffer from amplitude noise, you might find this high-tech start-up very interesting. We are helping to introduce a whole new class of lasers: directly doubled diode lasers. By frequency doubling a tapered diode laser using a non-linear crystal, we combine the stability of semiconductor-lasers with levels of output power usually associated with optical pumping, in a compact and simple system:
Our lasers have a very high wall-plug power efficiency of 7% and have no need for water cooling. Since our technology is not limited by a solid state medium, we can develop lasers in any wavelength within the visible spectrum. Proof-of-concept devices have been achieved in OCT, and are always looking for new applications that can benefit from our technology.
