1 kW peak power 808 nm 2-D laser diode array

A 2-D laser array delivering a peak power of 1 kW, with an overall efficiency of 33.4% is described. The operating parameters of this array are a 100- mu s pulse width, a 15-Hz reception rate, a temperature of 16 degrees C, and at the nominal wavelengths of 808 nm. The spectrometer used in the system is an ISA model HR-320 monochromator. In conjunction with the PAR mode 1453 1024-element array, a resolution of 0.6 nm/element is achieved which allows a 61 nm range to be displayed at any one time.>
