PENNINGTON, N.J. -- PD-LD Inc. has recently demonstrated a new and exclusive technology for greatly improving characteristics of high power laser diodes by using proprietary Volume Bragg Gratings [VBG™] to lock the emission wavelength of high power multimode laser diodes. The following table illustrates the improvements in emission characteristics by comparing VBG™ locked with typical commercial high power laser diodes:

Table 1:

The above comparison shows quite clearly that VBG™ wave locking transforms the multimode high power laser diodes into practically single frequency emitters with precisely defined lc and a very low sensitivity to temperature changes. This, no doubt, will have important consequences for many applications, such as:

VBG™ wave locking is applicable to any wavelength and power level. The method can be used with single emitters as well as with linear arrays and multi-array stacks of high power laser diodes.

Dr. Vladimir S. Ban, CEO says “this is a new direction for our company that we feel will truly make a difference in high power laser yields and improve the efficiency of DPSS high power laser systems.”
