4.2.1. Fast. Axis. Collimation. and. Types. of. FAC-Lenses. A typical property of
diode lasers is the highly divergent emission in the direction perpendicular to the
pn-junction, the so-called fast axis. Numerical apertures of upto 0.8, i.e., full
divergence angles of approximately 100◦, are not unusual. Therefore, in most
cases where diode lasers are dir ..."
"This book summarizes a five year research project, as well as subsequent results regarding high power diode laser systems and their application in materials processing. The text explores the entire chain of technology, from the semiconductor technology, through cooling mounting and assembly, beam shaping and system technology, to applications in the processing of such materials as metals and polymers. Include ..."
