Compact green laser modules align precisely
Compact self-contained green laser modules, designed for use in industrial alignment, medical and scientific applications, produce a highly visible circular output beam.
High output red laser diodes give high visibility
High output red laser diodes are suitable for applications requiring high visibility in demanding environments, such as machine vision and where highly visible laser lines ar wanted.
The compact and efficient 405nm laser modules produce either an elliptical output beam of 4 x 1.5mm with output power of 4mW, or a 2mm circular output beam with output power of 0.9mW.
The glass AR coated optical lens may be adjusted to produce either a collimated beam or focused spot.
The standard lens may be replaced by other optical systems such as line generators.
The laser is extremely stable and reliable and offers the added advantage of TTL modulation input which will accept signals from DC up to 1 kHz minimum.
TTL modulation can be used to enable, inhibit or modulate the laser.
Operating voltage is from 6.5V to 12V DC at an operating current of 90mA, or 100mA.
Beam divergence is <0.6mrad for the circular output beam and <0.6 x 0.3mrad for the elliptical output beam.
Operating temperature range is -10C to +50C.
The modules are cylindrical with an optional 25mm mounting flange and consist of an aluminium housing, laser diode, drive circuit and collimating lens.
Mechanical dimensions are a compact 12 mm diameter x 43mm length.
Electrical connections are made via external flying leads.
