Tapered Lasers combine the beam quality of a ridge waveguide laser with the high power known from broad area lasers. If you need high power and small spot size, this is the laser for you. Typical stand-alone applications are data storage or Computer to Plate (CTP), whereas in an amplification setup combined with high- performance seeding sources they can be used for spectroscopy.

eagleyard manufactures tapered lasers between 730 and 1,083 nm with high brightness and the smallest divergence. Output powers from 500 mW to 2,000 mW are available.
