The Optoelectronics Company introduced its own range of laser diode modules designed for OEMs, end-users and systems integrators. The new range of laser diode modules from the Optoelectronics Company combines a high performance Opnext (OCLARO) laser diode with externally adjustable optics, a Panasonic aspherical glass lens, sophisticated electronics, and rugged modular anodized aluminium housing to provide a laser source suitable for use in a variety of industrial, commercial and medical applications. The modules are compact, CW, visible or infrared lasers producing a high-quality elliptical beam. They offer a combination of low noise and output stability and are available at five lasing wavelengths (635 nm, 639 nm, 660 nm, 830 nm, and 852 nm), at powers of up to 75 mW. For identification they are supplied with coloured end caps. Mechanical dimensions are 12 mm diameter x 53 mm length.  Laser engraving, e.g. customer’s part number, is available on request. With an operating voltage of 3 - 6V DC and a broad ambient temperature operating range from -10 degrees C to +50 degrees C, the modules are also static, surge and reverse-polarity protected and RoHS compliant. Electrical connections are made via external flying leads. Custom lasing wavelengths, from 405 nm to 852 nm, and power options are also available, as is laser engraving.
