ProPhotonix adds two high-power laser diodes to range
Updated : 12:45
Designer and manufacturer of high-tech LED systems and laser diode modules, ProPhotonix, announced the addition of two new high-power red laser diodes from Ushio to its laser diode solutions.
The AIM-traded company said the 637 nanometer HL63283HD delivers an output power of 1.2 watts in continuous wave, and up to 1.5W when pulsed.
It said the “powerful” red laser diode was ideally suited for use in laser projectors, show lasers and as a light source in optical equipment.
The HL63290HD, on the other hand, was described as a 638nm laser diode producing output powers up to 2.5W when pulsed.
In continuous wave, the laser provides 2.2W of output power, apparently making it well-suited to laser projection applications.
The higher power red laser diode was also suitable for those optical equipment applications requiring power levels above 2W.
Both diodes were packaged in 9 millimeter cans, providing “excellent” heat dissipation, according to the company..
“We are delighted to announce the addition of these two new red laser diodes from Ushio to our diode laser product range,” said ProPhotonix managing director Jeremy Lane.
“These are the highest power levels available from Ushio and this combination of high power and excellent reliability will be welcomed by our OEM customers.”
