Laser Diode Boosts Data Transmission And Sensor Performance

IMM Photonics expands its Fabry-Perot laser diode offerings to include a 830-nm version by the Japanese manufacturer QD-Laser.

The 830-nm laser diode emits transversal waves in single mode, and supplies an optical performance of up to 220 mW in continuous wave mode. The beam angle is given as 9° x 18°. Two circuit versions are available. In one, the anode of the laser diode is connected to the housing potential; with the second version, the cathode is coupled with the housing. A photo diode has been integrated for performance monitoring. The laser diode can be deployed in both data transmission and sensor applications.
