DILAS, the diode laser company, announces today the next generation fiber-coupled system which was developed to suit the needs for volume production in industrial applications. The DILAS SF1000/400 is capable of delivering up to 1-kilowatt output from a 400-micron fiber at 976nm, at a single wavelength.

DILAS’ fiber-coupled system is based on macro-channel cooled diode laser bars featuring a compact footprint and convenient aiming beam. With a beam parameter product of 44mm mrad this system delivers 1-kilowatt through a cladding-mode free QBH high-power 400μm core diameter fiber, NA0.22 or an optional 800μm core diameter, NA0.12 fiber. The laser is also available with a Q5 (LLK-B) industrial fiber connector.

The turnkey system comes with a water-air-chiller, diode laser power supply, and control unit providing external interfaces, chassis and metal-armored fiber. The 1-kilowatt system is designed with a user friendly interface for ease of integration of material processing workstations.
The DILAS SD1000/400 system is ideal for material processing applications such as,
soldering, heat treatment and thin metal welding as well as, scientific research applications like fiber laser pumping.
