Semiconductor diode lasers offer compact and inexpensive light sources with unlimited customization of the output power, wavelength, and light delivery. The development of high-brightness, high-power laser diode sources has opened new markets for direct-diode industrial applications. High power diode lasers are at the heart of almost every solid state, alkali, and fiber laser systems. AKELA provides a broad range of laser diodes and custom photonic solutions for medical, industrial, laser pumping, defense and security applications.
