DL-3038-023
Overview
DL-3038-023 is 635 nm (T yp.) AlGaInP laser diode with low threshold current.
The low threshold current and short wavelength are achieved by use of a strained
multiple quantum well active layer. The lasing wavelength is 635 nm which is 8
times brighter than 670 nm lasers. DL-3038-023 is suitable for battery powered
laser pointers due to its low operating current and voltage.
Features
• Short wavelength : 635 nm (Typ.)
• Low threshold current : Ith = 20 mA (Typ.)
• Output power : 3 mW CW
• Low operating voltage : Vop = 2.2 V (Typ.)
