New Lead-Free 658nm Wavelength Laser Diodes from Photonic Products

Sanyos new lead-free laser diodes produce 40mW CW output power at 658nm, which is 10mW more output power than the laser diodes which they replaced in compliance with the RoHS Directive.

(PRWEB) July 22, 2005 -- Ideal for applications such as low level laser therapy, medical imaging, industrial alignment, laser levelling and barcode scanning, Sanyos new lead-free laser diodes, DL-6147-240 & DL-6147-040, produce 40mW CW output power at 658nm, which is 10mW more output power than the DL-5147-042 series laser diodes which they replaced in compliance with the RoHS Directive.

Supplied in a 5.6mm package, the Sanyo DL-6147-240 & DL-6147-040 laser diodes have a low threshold current of 30mA, typical operating current of 65mA, operating voltage of 2.4V, monitor output current of 0.35mA and differential efficiency of 1.1mW/mA. They have an operating temperature range of --10°C to +60°C.

The DL-6147-040 requires a negative (N type) power supply system, while the DL-6147-240 require a positive (P type) power supply system.

Virtually all Sanyo laser diodes are now lead-free.
