In recent years, longer wavelengths red laser diodes (LDs) have attracted attention in the biomedical and quantum technology fields. In light-based cancer therapies such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT), and in skin care, high-power red LDs are required. We have demonstrated highly reliable 1.2 W multi-mode LDs with the wavelength of 630, 635, 652, 659, 665, 675, 683, and 690 nm. These multi-mode LDs are suitable for fiber coupling because of their small emitter size of 80μm, and high-power and high reliability make them ideal light sources for biomedical applications. In addition, high-power single-mode LDs are desired for optical lattice clocks and laser cooling. We have demonstrated AlGaInP-based 200 mW single-mode LDs with the wavelength of 690, 700, and 705 nm. These single-mode LDs wavelength can be adjusted for the specific value by controlling temperature, which makes them ideal light sources for quantum technology.
