The 2300 series diode lasers offer high continuous wave (CW) optical power and
high brightness with unsurpassed reliability. The small emitting aperture,
combined with low beam divergence, makes the 2300 series one of the highest-
brightness CW diode lasers available in the industry today.
The 2300 series consists of partially coherent broad-area emitters with relatively
uniform emission over the emitting aperture. Operation is multi longitudinal
mode with a spectral envelope width of approximately 2 nm FWHM. The far field
beam divergence in the plane perpendicular to the P/N junction is nearly
Gaussian, while the lateral beam profile exhibits a multiple-transverse mode
pattern typical of broad-area emitters. Emitting apertures for 2300 variants range
from 50 to 500 µm, giving CW power output capability of up to 4 W with
superlative reliability. For higher-power 100 and 200 µm aperture devices, JDSU’s
2400 Series diode lasers are ideal.
The high efficiency of the quantum well structure, combined with low thermal
resistance epi-down chip mounting, provides minimum junction temperature at
high optical power. Low junction temperature and low thermal resistance
packages extend lifetime and increase reliability.
These diodes come mounted on conventional open heatsink packages that allow
easy integration into user systems.
