Diode array alternative to paint removal solid-state cw laser
Description:
The purpose of this memo is to highlight an alternative to the approach for cw laser paint removal. The point to be made is that a direct diode design is feasible and can be far more competitive than a solid-state laser based system. Through by-passing the use of a solid-state laser media, we immediately gain a factor of about five in system efficiency based on measured optical-to-optical efficiencies of our average power diode pumped lasers. This permits a massive reduction in system cooling r…
