Coherent Unveils New Diode Laser Bar for Improved Outcomes in Hair Removal
19 Mars 2024 - 9:30PM
Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in high-power diode
lasers for aesthetic and dermatological applications, today
introduced a game-changing diode laser bar for the hair removal
industry. This innovative 808 nm bar employs a two-junction
configuration to deliver 200 W of output with just 100 A of input
current, thus doubling the efficiency of previous single-junction
bars. A significant milestone, the Coherent 808 nm diode laser bar
enables faster, safer, and more effective hair removal treatments
while significantly reducing discomfort.
The global laser hair removal market has grown into
a multibillion-dollar industry. To meet the demand for more
effective and less painful solutions, the new Coherent 200 W laser
bar addresses a key challenge by offering higher power output at
shorter pulse widths and higher repetition rates.
To simplify upgrading, the new diode laser is
compatible with power supplies used in existing systems. Designs
currently based on 100 W 808 nm bars that require 100 A can now
easily upgrade to 200 W performance without replacing the power
supply and electronics. This also reduces costs and safety concerns
associated with higher-current systems.
“Our two-junction edge-emitting laser represents a
significant leap forward in diode laser bar design for hair
removal,” said Dr. Karlheinz Gulden, Senior VP, Laser Components
& Subsystems Business Unit at Coherent. “This innovation
leverages the extensive experience at Coherent in multi-junction
technology and our well-established reputation for reliability,
stability, and high-volume production. We anticipate putting this
new laser into full-scale production by summer 2024.”
Additionally, the output and operating
characteristics of the new 200 W diode laser bar may foster the
penetration of portable home-use devices in the market. The
high-power, low-current capabilities of the 808 nm bar could even
extend application beyond hair removal. It holds promise for
solid-state pumping, high-energy lasers, and laser fusion
research.
Coherent offers a comprehensive portfolio of hair
removal products, encompassing a range of wavelengths from 755 nm
to 1064 nm. Additionally, the company provides hair removal stack
modules, beam delivery systems, and other critical components for
complete system development.
