Marking
HAMAMATSU CW laser diodes, L8933, L8446, L8763, L8828 series feature high optical power of 0.5 to 2.0 W under CW operation. As this is single chip and single element type, emitting area is small (50 m to 100 m X 1m). Therefore, it is easy to focus on to a small spot with optics. It can be used for various applications such as pumping of solid lasers, printers, medical instruments etc.
Information furnished by HAMAMATSU is believed to be reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed for possible inaccuracies or omissions. Specifications are subject to change without notice. No patent rights are granted to any of the circuits described herein. '2003 Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.
