Laser Diodes & Sources
The FCMH series diode lasers deliver up to 500 W of power through a 200 µm fiber. They provide high brightness and simplified thermal management by distributing the diodes (heat sources), allowing for a water-cooled architecture with reliable, predictable performance. A turn-key benchtop unit is available, integrating the power supply, water cooling, power control, and safety shut-off features. Blue lasers generate significant heat; ~70% of power is lost as heat; thus proper heat sink is required in operation. Due to their high sensitivity to electrostatic discharge, warranty coverage applies only to fully metal covered modules the benchtops, which include proper protection. Other versions of the lasers and photodetectors are not covered by any warranty. Please use them with great caution.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Fiber Coupled High Power Multimode Laser – 450nm: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 450nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (200 µm, 105µm) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: 200 µm, 105µm · Fiber Buffer: 0.9mm Tube. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 450nm. Check the Laser Diodes & Sources passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
