Sapphire Heat Dissipation Substrate/slot Component

The sapphire heat dissipation base plate and heat dissipation groove of the laser beam comber are special thermal management structural components developed for high-power laser beam comber scenarios. They are made from 99.999% ultra-high-purity single crystal α-Al₂O₃ as raw material and processed through nanometer-level precision milling and optical polishing techniques to create customized heat dissipation grooves and positioning references, simultaneously achieving the dual functions of high-precision optical support and efficient heat conduction.
 
These materials are mainly applied in high-power semiconductor laser beam combiners, multi-channel pump beam combination modules, and high-power nonlinear frequency conversion beam combination systems, and is suitable for high-end scenarios with strict requirements for thermal stability, such as laser welding in new energy vehicles, precision processing in aerospace, and ultrafast laser amplification for scientific research.

Product Description

Introduction of materials

The sapphire heat dissipation substrate and heat dissipation trough of our laser beam combator are all made of α-Al₂O₃ single crystal sapphire ‌ with a purity of ‌ 99.999% or more as the core substrate.

Sapphire also has excellent optical transmittance in the wide spectral range of 190nm to 5μm, perfectly combining the three core characteristics of high thermal conductivity, high rigidity and low laser loss. It is the preferred material for high-end thermal management in high-power laser beam combination scenarios.

For products of different power levels, we also offer gradient selection solutions: For medium and low power combiners, conventional C-direction sapphire substrates are selected to balance performance and cost. High-power beam converters above kilowatt level adopt low-defect and high-purity sapphire crystal ingots, keeping the dislocation density within 500 per cm², further enhancing the laser damage resistance threshold and meeting the strict requirements of long-term high-load operation.

Advantages

1. Its heat conduction capacity surpasses that of quartz, fundamentally solving the problem of high-power light leakage and heat accumulation.

2. High hardness, batch assembly, rework and repeated clamping are not easy to scratch the channel, and have good long-term optical path consistency.

3. High-temperature resistant, thermal shock resistant, and no deformation during continuous long-term high-power operation;

4. The mid-infrared has a wider light transmission range and is universal for multi-wavelength industrial beam combinations (915/976/1064nm).

What we can do:

1.Heat dissipation carrier (core)

2. Precision V-groove/step groove

3. Window/isolation base

Who need them:

1. Industrial fiber laser beam combination, power ≥800W - 3kW;
2. The multi-beam pump light coupling results in a large amount of light leakage at the fusion joint.
3. Long-term continuous working, water-cooled /TEC refrigeration and heat dissipation structure;
4. Multi-wavelength (visible light + near-infrared) beam combining system;
5. The equipment requires a long service life, low rework, and zero tolerance for optical fiber burnout.
