Near-UV Laser Diode Module at 445 nm

Scitec Instruments introduces the Violet-445 near ultraviolet laser diode module from Oxxius
This blue violet 445 nm laser diode module offers a collimated optical beam in a compact radial package with an output power of up to 40 mW. Advanced electronics ensure precise temperature and power control, maximizing diode lifetime. Output power can be adjusted manually or modulated through analogue and TTL controls. The power stability and low noise characteristics of these blue violet laser modules make them ideal for a wide range of applications, especially in fluorescence and sensing. In addition, its compact design allows for easy integration into a variety of environments.

50 mW Blue Laser Diode Module at 488 nm

The 50 mW Blue-488, laser module takes advantage of the latest advances in GaN laser diode technology, and offers a state-of-the-art solution for the most demanding requirements.

With outstanding power stability (< 2 % pp over 8 hours) and very low noise (< 0.5 % rms from 10 Hz to 2 MHz), compact size and low power dissipation (< 2 W), the Blue-488, is a great alternative to traditional solid-state technologies. It’s also the perfect solution for analytical applications such as flow cytometry, microscopy and other fluorescence excitation techniques.

In response to customers’ requests fibre coupled versions of this module will be available shortly. Currently the Blue-488, is available in two versions, dedicated either for OEM integration or for laboratory use.

How to Remove Laser Diode From AixiZ Housing

Step1
Put the clean cloth down on a work surface. Put the glass dish on the clean cloth.

Step2
Pick up the AixiZ housing and hold it with two hands, one hand at the front of the housing and the other at the back of the housing. Twist the housing between your hands to separate the two halves of the housing. Unscrew the two halves of the housing. Place the half of the housing that has the circuit board inside of it on the clean cloth.

Step3
Pick up the piece of housing that has the circuit board inside of it. Grab hold of a corner of the circuit board using the needle nosed pliers. Pull the circuit board out of the housing with a quick motion.

Step4
Hold the circuit board in one hand with the laser diode pointing straight up. Pull the laser diode out of the circuit board with the tweezers.

Step5
Put the laser diode down on the glass dish.

New Style 200mw O-Like Module Review

First job was to bi-pass the new style four legged switch which is done by bridging x2 of the legs on either side of the switch.
I used 0.50 piano wire for this. Thanks to Jayrob for quickly confirming this!

One thing I noticed about the O-Like module is that the dimensions are incorrect!
On the website it is stated that the module is 12mm in diameter
In fact the correct diameter “for my module at least” is 11.90mm, So quickly informed Ehgemus about this,
as he’s making me a custom host for this particular module with a 11.91 bore as soon as he’s well again.

The module will fit more snug this way creating better heat sinking.
I may decide to use a little silver thermal paste in that .01 gap but probably wont be necessary, time will tell.
Next I discovered that the module is not in fact glued into place, therefore was able to take apart!

Laser diode modules from CALPAC LASERS

Laser diode modules from CALPAC LASERS are ideal for commercial, industrial, medical, and OEM applications requiring longer duty cycles, frequent intermittent use, and application specific tolerances. Laser diode modules offer a higher level of performance, greater stability, and are more durable than hand held laser pointers. Simply adding an external power supply creates the perfect alignment laser for industrial positioning, batch processing, scanning, machine vision, imaging, and other applications. Our affordable laser diode modules make excellent replacements for expensive He-Ne lasers, and are optimal for cost-effective prototyping.

Each module is a complete laser assembly including all circuits, a laser diode, and optics packaged in a protective housing. Red alignment lasers projecting highly visible lines or dots are available in wavelengths of 635nm, 650nm, and 660nm. Our green laser diode modules project an extremely bright dot at a wavelength of 532nm.

LASER DIODE COLLECTIONS ( LASER MODULES )

Because of Quarton’s establishment of an Innovative Research & Development Division, we currently offer approximately 30 different models of laser diode modules. From visible laser diode module, IR laser diode, line generator laser diode to green laser diode. We also provide the thinnest and the smallest laser diode module for general purpose red laser light source. All of which meet FDA, GS and CE safety regulations.

150mW 405nm Blue-Violet Laser Diode Module with Driver

150mW+ 405nm Blu-Ray Blue Violet Laser Diode Module with Adjustable Lens.
Already made 104mA Mini Constant Current Driver included.
Only need Connect to 8 – 15V(9V, 12V battery) for lasing.
Discount price can change anytime.

Constant current driver kit include some safety circuit for laser diode protection- 10 part include PCB.
Circuits included some filter, max current limit(about 150mW) for protect from over current, capacitor discharge and reverse current protection.
I ship copy of driver schematic and layout example for easy soldering.
Input Voltage range from 8 V to 20V(eventhough IC can drive 37V I limit it to 20V for safety)
Eventhough constant current driver can make by 5(include PCB) component, it is easy to kill your laser diode.
