LNC801PS

High Power Output Semiconductor Laser

Overview

The LNC801PS is a GaAlAs laser diode which provides stable,
continuous, single mode oscillation of near infrared light at room
temperature. This product can be used in a wide range of light source
applications, including laser printers, facsimiles, optical disk memory,
and optical information devices.

Features

Low threshold oscillation
Stable single horizontal mode oscillation
Built-in PIN photodiode for light output monitors
Light output is continuously variable as far as 60 mW
Supports direct modulation
Near infrared oscillating wavelength
Long lifetime, high reliability
