The new high-brightness 2486-L4 series laser diodes offer up to 2 W from a 60-μm fiber into 0.22 numerical aperture (NA)—ideal for thermal printing and other applications that require high brightness and a long life. The dramatic increase in output power, from the 60-micron fiber, also enables new technologies, such as flexography, illumination, and several material processing applications. The 2486-L4 series is available with customer-selectable fiber length and fiber termination, including bare fiber, SMA, and ST connectors.
