LASER COMPONENTS introduces the new low cost LC LMD series of laser diode modules for the OEM market. These are probably the smallest modules in the world. Using integrated APC electronics (automatic power control) the laser diode is operated automatically to a pre-set power level helping to increase the module’s life. The LC LDM includes the laser diode, drive electronics and optics, all in a metal housing measuring just dia. 3.3 mm x 7 mm long. They can be operated directly with 3VDC without additional electronics.
Dot lasers with a collimated or focusable beam at 635nm and 650nm are available from a selection in twelve different kinds of housings. Line lasers are also available. LC LMD modules are the right choice if you are looking for an easy and inexpensive solution in large quantities.
Typical applications include uses in consumer products, such as hardware store equipment, household appliances, and target and alignment aids. Spirit levels, sewing machines, circular saws are some examples. They are designed for use where very little space is available and cost is a deciding factor when purchasing a product.
