SemiNex laser diodes, operating between 1330 and 1610 nanometers, can achieve more than 4 Watts of power and 50% W/A efficiency, with excellent yield and price per Watt. SemiNex uses a material and structure design that is capable of efficiently delivering high power levels at this very broad wavelength range. These diode lasers are well suited for several applications, including:

The SemiNex product offerings are well suited for these applications because of the properties of light between 1300nm and 1600nm. There are three valuable attributes of this wavelength range:
- The peak for maximum water absorptionin tissue is included within the wavelength range.
- Optical fiber attenuation and free space optical attenuation are minimized in this range.
- Human eyes absorbs this light at the cornea which protects the retina against focused damage.
