Hatfield Broad Oak, UK (ContentDesk) March 3, 2006 — Photonic Products, the UK optoelectronics device manufacturer and laser diode specialist, is delighted to announce the launch of a new, lead-free, blue-violet wavelength (405nm) laser diode from Sanyo. The Sanyo DL-5146-152 405nm, 35mW CW (50mW pulsed) laser diode incorporates an internal monitor photodiode which can be utilised to accurately stabilise and control the optical output power.

DL-5146-152 has also been developed for use in next generation DVD and many other emerging technologies.Supplied in a 5.6mm package with M type common cathode pin configuration, the Sanyo DL-5146-152 laser diode has a low threshold current of 38mA, typical operating current of 75mA, operating voltage of 5.6V (higher than conventional lasers), threshold voltage of 4.8V, monitoring output current of 0.2mA, laser reverse voltage of 2V and differential efficiency of 0.9mW/mA at a visible wavelength of 405nm. The operating temperature range is 0 degrees Centigrade to +60 degrees Centigrade.

Sanyo laser diodes are now RoHS compliant.www.photonic-products.com/news/sanyo_new_405nm_laserdiode.html(Download specifications)Photonic Products was established in 1995 and has offices in the UK, USA and Germany.
