Laser Components Announces CW Blue Laser Diodes

With a wide range of applications like measurement technology, sensor technology, medical technology and military applications, CW laser diodes have proved to be extremely useful. Laser Components announced that the blue laser diodes are available at 405nm wavelength and 20mW power output. These diodes feature a photodiode to monitor and adjust the power and are integrated in a hermetically sealed TO-56 package. New 450nm blue laser diodes emit a strong beam with an optical output power of up to 1.6W. Another important laser diode, the single transverse mode semiconductor laser with a high modulation bandwidth emits a 488nm beam with an output power of 60mW which makes them extremely beneficial in biomedical applications.

The 405 nm laser diodes achieved their breakthrough with the popularity of storage media and Blu-ray players. This wavelength is also well received in measurement technology because it reflects particularly well on hot surfaces. The high operating temperature range of up to +75°C is especially advantageous for industrial applications. These diodes, which are integrated in a hermetically sealed TO-56 housing, also feature a monitoring photodiode to monitor and adjust the power.

The 450 nm laser diodes from OSRAM emit a beautiful and strong blue beam with an optical output power of up to 1.6 W. They are well suited for both cw and pulsed operation and are used in projection, measurement technology, and stage lighting. One highlight includes the narrow-band 488 nm laser diodes for biomedical and medical technology.
