PITTSBURGH - Coherent Corp. (NYSE: NYSE:COHR ), a prominent player in the production of high-power diode lasers, has announced the release of a new diode laser bar that promises to enhance the efficiency of hair removal treatments. The 808 nm laser bar, which operates using a two-junction configuration, is capable of producing 200 W of output from just 100 A of input current, effectively doubling the efficiency compared to previous single-junction bars.
This advancement is expected to offer quicker, safer, and more effective hair removal procedures while significantly reducing patient discomfort. The new laser bar also presents an opportunity for existing hair removal systems to upgrade easily, as it is designed to be compatible with power supplies used in current 100 W 808 nm bar systems, eliminating the need to replace existing power supply and electronics.

Dr. Karlheinz Gulden, Senior VP at Coherent, expressed that the two-junction edge-emitting laser represents a substantial progression in diode laser bar design. He highlighted the company's extensive experience in multi-junction technology and its reputation for reliability and high-volume production. Coherent plans to commence full-scale production of the new laser by summer 2024.
In addition to hair removal, the characteristics of the new 200 W diode laser bar may also allow it to be used in portable home-use devices and could potentially broaden its applications to include solid-state pumping, high-energy lasers, and laser fusion research.
Coherent's range of products for hair removal spans various wavelengths, from 755 nm to 1064 nm, and includes stack modules, beam delivery systems, and other vital components for system development. The company, headquartered in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, serves a diverse market with innovations in industrial, communications, electronics, and instrumentation applications.
