12 Jun 2008 The days when customers had to strip video game consoles to cheaply access blue lasers are over. The LCS406105M5x, which was designed for applications in optical storage, utilizes crystal growth technology which was originally developed for infrared, red, and blue laser diodes with low power.
The newly developed laser chip has a specially designed structure and a high cw power level of 105 mW (210 mW in pulse mode). In addition, this component has an extremely long operating lifespan of 10,000 hours. It comes in a standard TO housing with a diameter of 5.6 mm and is suited for operating temperatures of up to +70°C. |
