Description

This listing offers a fully functional Raycus 260W high-power infrared diode laser module, sold as a B-stock or refurbished unit ideal for R&D, prototyping, repair, and budget-conscious industrial applications. As a decommissioned or repaired pump source, it provides substantial cost savings while delivering robust 260W optical output at 915nm wavelength. The module comes with a standard fiber pigtail and is perfect for users experienced with integrating high-power laser diodes into cooling systems and drive electronics.

Important Note: This is a used/refurbished industrial component. It requires proper handling, appropriate supporting equipment (constant current driver, active cooling), and strict adherence to operational guidelines to function safely and reliably.


Technical Specifications & Condition

  • Optical Output:

    • Power: 260W nominal (tested before shipping, report provided).

    • Wavelength: 915nm (±3nm). Invisible infrared light – exercise extreme caution.

    • Spectral Width: < 5nm FWHM (typical).

  • Electrical Input:

    • Drive Requirement: Constant Current (CC) DC Source.

    • Operating Voltage: ~2V (typical).

    • Operating Current: ~18A DC.

    • Threshold Current: ~3A (approx.).

    • Warning: Cannot be connected directly to a battery or voltage source without current regulation.

  • Fiber Output:

    • Type: Standard low-cost silica fiber (jacket may show signs of prior use).

    • Core Diameter: Typically 400µm or 600µm (varies per unit, specified in test report).

    • Connector: Standard output ferrule (bare fiber or simple connector, depending on unit). Note: Fiber is fragile. Replacements are available.

  • Thermal Management (CRITICAL):

    • Cooling: Mandatory external heatsink/active liquid cooling required during operation.

    • Max Case Temperature: 40°C during operation for stable power. Power degrades above 45°C.

    • Critical Temperature: 65°C – risk of permanent catastrophic failure.

  • Physical & Environmental:

    • Condition: Used/Refurbished. Cosmetics may vary. Fully tested for power output.

    • Optics: May be bare emitter (collimated version) or fiber-coupled. Includes protective window/lens where applicable.

    • Storage: Store with positive/negative terminals shorted to prevent ESD damage. Environment: 8-40°C, <15% humidity recommended.


Key Features & Package Contents

  • High Power, Low Cost: Access 260W of infrared laser power at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

  • Pre-Shipment Testing: Each unit comes with a specific test report and video demonstrating optical power output.

  • Industrial Proven: Built on Raycus's reliable diode platform, suitable for demanding applications.

  • Package Includes:

    1. One Raycus 260W Laser Diode Module (condition as described).

    2. Fiber optic pigtail attached (length and condition vary).

    3. Pre-shipment test report and video documentation.

    4. Basic safety and operation guidelines sheet.


Critical Operational & Safety Warnings

FOR EXPERIENCED USERS ONLY. INVISIBLE INFRARED BEAM HAZARD – CLASS 4 LASER PRODUCT.

  1. Thermal Management: You must provide an adequate heatsink or water-cooling plate. Monitor temperature continuously. Operation without cooling causes instant failure.

  2. Drive Electronics: Must use a constant current laser diode driver (18A, compliance voltage >2.5V). Incorrect driving destroys the diode.

  3. Beam Hazard: Output is invisible 915nm IR. Always use appropriate IR sensor cards or a camera to visualize the beam. Never look into the beam or its reflections.

  4. Material Compatibility: Effective on wood, dark paper, steel, and some dark plastics. DO NOT use on copper, aluminum, or mirrored surfaces – high reflectivity can damage the laser diode.

  5. Fiber Handling: The attached fiber is a consumable. Avoid sharp bends. If the output end burns, it can be re-cleaved with a fiber cleaver. Handle with care.

  6. Optics Protection: Keep optics clean and free of dust/water. Maintain distance when processing metals to avoid splatter damaging the output lens/fiber tip.

  7. Storage: Always short the input pins together when not in use to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage.


Applications (Ideal For)

  • Prototyping high-power laser systems.

  • Replacing a failed pump module in existing equipment.

  • DIY and research projects requiring substantial IR laser power (cutting, welding experiments).

  • Educational demonstrations (with strict safety protocols).

  • Thermal processing of compatible materials.
