nLIGHT Corporation today announced the extension of the Summit™ QCW laser product family to wavelengths from 1.3 μm to 2.1 μm. Based on CTE-matched materials and hard solder, Summit™ products present a powerful solution for a variety of military, aerospace, medical and industrial applications.

The exclusive partnership between nLIGHT and Quantel Laser Diodes (formerly Thales Laser Diodes) provides an unparalleled combination of industry-leading diodes and packaging technology field-proven over more than ten years. Customer specific optimization is available through package options, including collimation, power, brightness, efficiency and now – expanded wavelengths. Summit™ products offer the flexibility to meet customer specific requirements for a wide range of applications.

“Conductive cooling makes a tremendous difference in cost of ownership, and QCW operation allows even higher peak power than can be achieved with our industry-leading CW products”, said Jake Bell, nLIGHT Defense Group Vice President. “As longer wavelength technologies transition from the laboratory to the field, nLIGHT’s broad suite of product offerings will serve our customer’s ever evolving needs”.

nLIGHT will be showing this addition to the Summit™ product family at the Photonics West Conference in San Jose January 22-24, 2008.
