High Output Power in a Compact Diode Laser Package
Coherent’s HighLight DL HPS puts the laser head, power supply, water chiller, and heat exchanger into a single, compact enclosure measuring 670 x 1050 x 1760 mm. Eliminating the complexities and expense of deionized water, its closed-loop chiller uses distilled water, thanks to conduction-cooled laser diodes.

The Coherent (Santa Clara, CA) HighLight DL HPS is an industrial diode laser that offers high power output (1 kW to 4 kW) in a compact, self-contained package, making it useful for systems integrators and end users performing metal cladding, heat treating, brazing, and welding.
The HighLight DL HPS utilizes an “all-in-one” configuration, meaning that the laser head, power supply, water chiller, and heat exchanger are all contained in a single enclosure. The enclosure measures only 670 x 1050 x 1760 mm, making it suitable for space-constrained applications such as those often found in the automotive industry.
Its conduction-cooled laser diodes enable the closed-loop chiller to utilize distilled water. This allows for easier implementation versus products requiring the complexity and expense of deionized water.
The HighLight DL HPS is available with numerous factory options and accessories. The near-IR output is delivered through a detachable delivery fiber terminating in a choice of QBH or QD connector. Coherent also offers a wide variety of processing heads, including zoom focusing units, that enable the output to be tailored in size, shape, and intensity to the specific requirements of each application. This makes the HighLight DL HPS suitable for a wide range of applications in industries as diverse as oil/gas, agriculture, construction, 3D additive manufacturing, and semiconductor fabrication.
