18 Feb 2009 The CVLM57 series is the first ever broad-area 1550nm laser diode that incorporates three epitaxially grown junctions in a single chip.
The CVLM57 laser is a high performance multi-mode laser that delivers 25W of peak pulsed power from a standard 350um x 10um emitter.
The CVLM57 operates at a peak forward current of 20Amps. The spectral width is < 12 nm and beam divergence is typically <37 degrees by <12 degrees FWHM.
The CVLM57 laser is ideal for use in rangefinder, surveying equipment and "friend or foe" identification applications.
The CVLM57 diode is available in 9mm, TO18T, TO18C packages and is also offered with a fiber-coupled configuration (TO5F package) with up to 30W output power from a single 400um 0.37 NA fiber.
