1W Lasers are any laser that designates 1W of average output power, having either CW (continuous-wave) or pulsed output. CW Lasers are always defined in average output power. Pulsed Lasers with an output power defined in Watts or Milliwatts usually define the laser’s average power, not the peak power of the laser.
Lasers with 1W output can also be referred to as 1000mW lasers – these terms are interchangeable.
RPMC provides a wide selection of lasers with ≈ 1W average power output, including CW DPSS lasers, CW fiber lasers, line modules, single-emitter laser diodes, laser diode modules, VCSELs, QCLs, pulsed DPSS lasers, pulsed fiber lasers, ultrafast lasers, MIL-spec lasers, and fiber amplifiers.
1000mW lasers come in many different configurations. For some brief examples, RPMC provides a high-power laser diode module, with 1000mW, 830nm output, and multimode fiber w/ FC/PC connector, perfect for confocal fluorescence microscopy, DNA sequencing, and flow cytometry.
