Powerful and sensitive 405nm blue-violet laser diode module

A 25mW version of their hugely popular 405nm (blue-violet) Photon laser diode modules with TTL modulation, has been launched by
Photonic Products Ltd, the UK optoelectronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialists.

The 25mW output power offered by the new module combines higher energy density with a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio and, consequently, greater accuracy and sensitivity.

This is of special significance in biomedical and biochemical analysis applications such as flow cytometry and laser-induced fluorescence sensing, where the objective is to collect as much fluorescent signal as possible.

Designed as a complete laser diode solution for OEMs, the 405nm laser modules are also ideal for use in areas such as food processing, industrial imaging and inspection, spectroscopy, microscopy, medical imaging and many other emerging technologies where power, accuracy and sensitivity are vital. The compact and efficient 405nm laser module produces a stable elliptical output beam of 3.5 x 2mm with output power of 25mW, and adjustment of the glass AR-coated aspherical lens produces either a collimated beam or focused spot. The standard lens may be replaced by other optical systems such as line generators.

Extremely stable and reliable, the laser offers the added advantage of TTL modulation input, which will accept signals from dc up to 1.0kHz minimum. TTL modulation can be used to enable, inhibit or modulate the laser.

Operating voltage is from 8 to 12Vdc at an operating current of 80mA. Beam divergence is typically <0.6 x 0.3mrad, while the operating temperature range is -10 to +50°C. The module consists of an aluminuim housing, laser diode, drive circuit and collimating lens. Dimensions are 43mm x 12mm diameter, and the cylindrical body has the option of a 25mm mounting flange.
