Our customers have asked – and we have responded: Pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) are now also available at an emission wavelength of 850 nm at LASER COMPONENTS Canada.
The 850 series can be characterized as absolutely reliable; it features a low divergence of 10.5° x 20° and high temperature stability up to +85°C. This PLD has the following parameters:
- Efficiency: 0.9 W/A
- Emitter: 150 µm x 1 µm
- Peak power: 10.5 W
- Pulse length: 150 ns
- This PLD is also suited for significantly shorter pulses up to 1 ns.
Alternative to Osram’s Discontinued PLDs
The 850D1S06x pulsed laser diodes are available as chip on a ceramic submount or in different housings: TO-18, 5.6 mm, 9 mm, 8-32 Coax. They are thus a viable alternative to the discontinued line of PLDs originally offered by Osram.
Applications. The focus of 850 nm pulsed laser diodes includes applications such as rangefinding, speed monitoring, laser radar, security scanners, or laser light curtains. These PLDs are also used in test and measurement systems. The 850 series is the perfect addition to the following established series:
| Series | L | Peak Pulse Performance |
|---|---|---|
| 905 | 905 nm | 650 W |
| 1550 | 1550 nm | 45 W |
