What is the Laser Engine?
 |
Our patented Laser Engine is an integrated laser diode system designed for manufacturers of high volume medical and other low-cost hand-held applications. It is extremely inexpensive to assemble and can be tailored to fit the individual customer's needs. It has ultra-high volume capabilities, a high power output, large dynamic power range, and great efficiency. The laser engine is ideal for medical applications such as acne removal, skin wrinkle reduction, and skin ablation and can also be used in a range of professional laser applications like medical procedures and surgery, free-space communications, and range finding.
In addition to the standard laser engine configurations, SemiNex developed a complete hand-held laser device built on the laser engine that includes an integrated microprocessor control and battery power supply. By shrinking the laser technology to a size small enough to fit in one’s hand and offering an off-the-shelf yet configurable device, the laser engine removes many of the technical challenges for companies looking to enter the consumer laser market place.

The laser engine is includes a high-efficiency laser, heat-spreader, convection cooling device, and optical lensing element, all contained within a radial heatsink shell. The laser engine is built to disperse as much heat as possible to allow for longer times in use. Additionally, a fan can be attached to the back of the engine to increase heat dispersion.
The laser engine is available in 1470, 1532, and 1550 nm wavelengths and currently features an excellent power conversion efficiency of 45% watts/amp, offering 3 watts of continuous optical power from 6.5 amps of input current. A version with greater power output is under development.
The laser engine system includes a laser, cooling fan, and focusing lens, and comes in two package options. The first package option integrates convection cooling and is 40 mm long with a diameter of 25 mm and a weight of 16 grams, about the size and weight of a golf ball. The second package option is a conductively cooled package measuring just 11 mm by 20mm by 13mm.
