  • Patent number: 11811192
    Abstract: A diode laser arrangement includes a diode laser device, first and second cooling elements and at least one spacing device. The laser device and spacing device are mutually spaced apart between the first and second cooling elements. The laser device and the spacing device are disposed on respective first and second outer surfaces of respective cooling elements. The first and second cooling elements cool the laser device. The laser device has first and second diode main surfaces. The first diode main surface is on the first outer surface in a first front region and/or the second diode main surface is on the second outer surface in a second front region. The spacing device places the first outer surface in the first front region parallel to the first diode main surface, and/or the second outer surface in the second front region parallel to the second diode main surface.

  • Patent number: 11791605
    Abstract: A diode laser arrangement for the cooling of and supply of electrical current to diode laser devices, having at least two stacks, each having a diode laser device which is configured to emit a laser beam, an upper cooling device, and a lower cooling device. The diode laser device is arranged on the upper cooling device and on the lower cooling device such that the diode laser device is arranged between the upper cooling device and the lower cooling device. The upper and lower cooling devices are in each case electrically connected to the diode laser device arranged therebetween. The upper cooling device and/or the lower cooling device of a stack are in each case formed as a microchannel cooler. The upper cooling device and/or the lower cooling device of a stack in each case have substantially no electrical insulation with respect to the diode laser device arranged therebetween.

  • Patent number: 9690107
    Abstract: A device for wavelength coupling of laser beams (2a, . . . 2n) with different wavelengths (?1, . . . ?n), comprising: at least one laser source for generating a plurality of laser beams (2a, . . . , 2n), and an overlapping device for spatial overlapping of the plurality of laser beams (2a, . . . , 2n) for forming an overlapped laser beam with a plurality of wavelengths (?1 . . . ?n). The device has a feedback device arranged between the laser source and the overlapping device for feeding a radiation proportion of the laser beams (2a, . . . , 2n) to be overlapped back to the laser source, the feedback device comprising a partially reflecting angle-dispersive optical element, in particular a partially reflecting diffraction grating. The overlapping device may, for example, be configured as a transmitting or reflecting diffraction grating whose optical properties are adapted to the optical properties of the partially reflecting diffraction grating to overlap the laser beams (2a, . . .
