Abstract
Forward Photonics (FP) is a company that specializes in developing and manufacturing high-brightness semiconductor lasers for defense and commercial applications, using its proprietary wavelength beam combination (WBC) technology. Direct semiconductor lasers can offer high efficiency output, however poor brightness has been a limiting factor in using them for applications which require long distance propagation or small spot sizes. WBC enables the generation of high brightness beams at various wavelengths, from UV to LWIR, by combining multiple laser diodes. WBC lasers have similar beam quality as fiber lasers, but with superior wavelength flexibility, efficiency, and reliability. In this presentation, FP will review recent power and form factor developments in its WBC laser systems, including quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) and direct-diode near-infrared lasers.
