Laser Components has launched its K41 and CS405 fibre-coupled laser diodes for use in medical, material-processing, illumination, printing, biochemical or scientific applications.
At a wavelength of 405nm, the components emit from the fibre an optical output power of 20 to 100mW.
Optimal optical and electronic performance is achieved through the alignment of the 3 to 60um fibres.
In addition to high coupling efficiency, the fibre connection features long-term stability and optimal beam performance.
If desired, the company may also equip the fibre end with an FC, ST or SMA optical connector.
The K41 series emits up to 100mW from a 60um multimode fibre with a numerical aperture of 0.22 and up to 30mW from a 3um single-mode fibre with an NA of 0.12.
The CS405 series achieves an even better coupling efficiency, emitting 60mW from a 4.5um fibre with an NA of 0.06.
All components are delivered in a robust metal housing.
Depending on the design, the laser diodes are also available with a thermoelectric cooler and/or a thermistor.
