RPMC-2106-632

632nm @ 150 mW CW Operation

Highly Visible To The Eye

 

The RPMC-2106-632 laser diodeis a high power, multimode, visible red laser diode. TheseinAlGaP broad-area, gain-guided lasers are produced using MOCVD growth which offers high efficiency, low threshold current, and excellent reliability.

The low 632nm wavelength of these devicesis over five times more visible to the eye than standard 670nm laser diodes. Because these devices are more sensitive to operating temperature than longer wavelength devicesitis essential that the lasers be operated with adequate cooling. An operating temperature of 15 degrees Cis required. At a reduced operating temperature of 10 degrees C, the devices may be operated at 200mW. The efficiency and lifetime of the devices will beimproved with even lower operating temperatures.

These devices are available on an open heatsink package, orin a TO-3 package which has anintegral thermoelectric cooler, thermistor, and monitor photodiode. Other package options are available; pleaseinquire.
