Releases First High Power IR Laser Device with Photo Monitor
OPNEXT, a global manufacturer of high power, low operating current red and infrared laser diodes, has introduced a 637nm, 120mW high power laser with a built-in monitor photo diode.
The company’s HL63142DG red laser diode, which is designed for industrial and military applications, including military target acquisition, achieves optimal performance and output by enabling system designers to monitor the laser’s performance and adjust output power in real time. Opnext customers are currently sampling the red laser diode for use in industrial and military applications. Using a unique and proprietary design, the HL63142DG built-in monitor photo diode allows a system designer to control the optical performance by monitoring the photo diode current and adjusting for temperature and power variants. Performance monitoring capabilities are essential for maintaining constant laser output power in construction systems and biomedical and other applications that experience changes in their operating environments.
The HL63142DG operates at a temperature range up to 50°C and 120mW in the 637nm wavelength band in a 5.6mm diameter to industry standard package.
“We expect to see initial demand for this high quality laser with built-in monitor photo diode to come from military target acquisition-type applications where precise laser control is an important performance parameter,” said Tadayuki Kanno, President of Opnext’s devices business unit. “The industry trend is moving toward producing laser diodes that are high power, while consuming less energy, and Opnext continues to innovate in bringing these key performance capabilities to market.” Opnext offers one of the industry’s most
comprehensive portfolios of laser diodes, spanning from 635nm to 850nm, driven by more than 30 years of innovative laser heritage. Opnext high quality, reliable red and infrared laser diodes are proven to consume a low operating current, which extends battery life, while still maintaining the integrity of the laser diode power in a variety of applications such as gun sights, rangefinders, line leveling construction systems and biomedical applications.
