Applications Optical Pumping Optical Pumping Diode lasers are the reference pump source for solid-state and fiber lasers, thanks to their electrical-to-optical efficiency and emission matched to the gain medium Materials Processing Materials Processing Thanks to their electrical-to-optical efficiency and beam shaped to each process, direct diode lasers are the most efficient source for welding, cladding, heat treating, forming, drying, or curing materials. Aesthetics & Medical Aesthetics & Medical Their precise wavelength, stable power, and long-term reliability make diode-pumped solid-state and diode lasers the reference source for medical and aesthetic equipment. LiDAR & Active Imaging LiDAR & Active Imaging Nanosecond pulsed diode modules are the reference source for range-gated active imaging and LiDAR systems, thanks to their high peak power, fast rise times, and wavelength matched to eye safety. Imaging & Sensing Imaging & Sensing With a narrow, stable spectral line, short high-energy pulses, or a well-defined light pattern, diode and solid-state lasers are the reference source for spectroscopy, non-destructive testing, and machine vision. Aerospace & Defense Aerospace & Defense Their ruggedness, precision, and qualification for demanding environments make diode and solid-state lasers the reference source for rangefinding, target illumination, military-grade pumping, and optical dazzlers.
