5W Lasers
What are 5W Lasers?
5W Lasers include any laser with the designation of 5W of average output power, being 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 5W of output power can also be referred to as 5000mW lasers.
Our 5W Laser Products
RPMC Lasers provides a wide selection of 5W Lasers, including single-emitter laser diodes, multi-emitter laser diodes, VBG laser diodes, laser diode modules, CW DPSS lasers, CW fiber lasers, pulsed DPSS lasers, pulsed fiber lasers, multi-wavelength lasers, ultrafast lasers, and fiber amplifiers.
Lasers providing 5W average output power come in many different configurations, capable of supporting many different applications. Some brief examples of the many configurations offered by RPMC include our 1.5µm fiber amplifiers, with 1529nm to 1605nm wavelength and up to 10W average output power, in an OEM configuration, perfect for telecom and LIDAR applications
We provide 5W, 1064nm, nanosecond pulsed DPSS lasers, with up to 200mJ pulse energy, < 20 ns pulse width, and up to 30Hz PRF, perfect for infrared absorption spectroscopy, LIBS, and LIDAR applications.
Our selection of CW, OEM, 532nm, thin-disk DPSS laser modules are available in a 5W configuration (up to 8W available), perfect for laser pumping, LIBS, second harmonic generation, marking, and RGB applications.
RPMC also offers the widest selection of wavelengths and package options for our laser diodes. For example, our multimode, 5W laser diodes, with 750nm wavelength, are available in C-mount, 9mm TO-Can, TO-3 (with or without TEC), HHL (w/ TEC, thermistor, and photodiode), 9mm SMA, and many more options, perfect for machine vision, night vision, dental and photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications.
Our final highlight example is our selection of nanosecond pulsed DPSS lasers, with 1064nm wavelength, up to 35W average power output, and 6-8ns pulse widths at up to 200kHz PRF, perfect for many applications, such as marking, scribing, trimming, texturing, PCB production, particle image velocimetry, and more!
There are many more configurations available that were not described above. RPMC should have the perfect, standard product to match your requirements. If you do not see exactly what you are looking for, let us know! We are typically able to provide customization options for our standard products, and can even provide fully custom solutions to perfectly fit your unique application needs!

The Aero Series is a high-energy DPSS laser that operates at less than 15 nanoseconds and with average power up to 200mJ at 1064nm and 100mJ at 532nm. All models come enclosed in an extremely compact and ruggedized single unit with a conductively cooled heatsink with a water-cooled option. It comes with available options for beam expanding and collimating optics. This new laser series is ideal for applications like LIBS, spectroscopy, and Atmospheric LIDAR.
Areté has developed a commercial series of compact and efficient DPSS laser sources, capable of operating over a wide range of pulsing conditions (duty-cycle and PRF), in a low SWaP package, with average power up to ≈5W @ 266nm, 10W @ 355nm or 532nm, 20W @ 1064nm, suitable for airborne applications. The design has been tested in brassboard hardware and a prototype is being developed.
