Stable 405nm, 35mW Blue-Violet Laser Diode
Gives More Control
A new, lead-free, blue-violet wavelength (405nm)
laser diode from Sanyo incorporates an internal monitor photodiode which can be
utilised to accurately stabilise and control the optical output
power.
Hatfield Broad Oak, UK (PRWEB) March 3, 2006 --
Photonic Products, the UK optoelectronics device manufacturer and laser diode
specialist, is delighted to announce the launch of a new, lead-free, blue-violet
wavelength (405nm) laser diode from Sanyo. The Sanyo DL-5146-152 405nm, 35mW CW
(50mW pulsed) laser diode incorporates an internal monitor photodiode which can
be utilised to accurately stabilise and control the optical output power.
Ideal for applications where a stable, accurately
controlled output is critical, such as biomedical instrumentation, medical
imaging, fluorescence sensing, spectroscopy and microscopy, the DL-5146-152 has
also been developed for use in next generation DVD and many other emerging
technologies.
Supplied in a 5.6mm package with M type common
cathode pin configuration, the Sanyo DL-5146-152 laser diode has a low threshold
current of 38mA, typical operating current of 75mA, operating voltage of 5.6V
(higher than conventional lasers), threshold voltage of 4.8V, monitoring output
current of 0.2mA, laser reverse voltage of 2V and differential efficiency of
0.9mW/mA at a visible wavelength of 405nm. The operating temperature range is 0
degrees Centigrade to +60 degrees Centigrade.
Virtually all Sanyo laser diodes are now RoHS
compliant.
