Visible Laser Diodes: 635 - 670 nm

PD-LD Inc. offers a variety of standard visible laser diodes in ready-to-use, fiber-coupled packages, including coaxial-pigtailed & FC, ST, & SC active receptacles. Both standard multimode and single-mode fibers are used. Standard wavelengths are 635, 650, 660, & 670 nm. Fiber-coupled continuous-wavelength (CW) output powers range from 0.2 - 1.0 mW depending on the fiber type coupled.

The AlGaAsP laser diodes used are of proven design and manufacture. Lasers in 5.6 or 9.0 mm hermetically-sealed TO cans are used. All VLDs have 3 pins as defined by the device ID; pinouts are:

N-Type: (LD (+) Anode & PD (-)Cathode case common; PD-LD A (5.6 mm) or B (9.0 mm) Type);

P-Type: (LD (-) Cathode & PD (+) Anode case common, PD-LD C (5.6 mm) or D (9.0 mm) Type); or

M-Type: (LD (-) Cathode & PD (-) Cathode case common, PD-LD I (5.6 mm) or J (9.0 mm) Type).

PD-LD will also fiber-couple customer-supplied or -specified lasers using its standard parts and techniques. In addition, custom designs are accommodated. Optional panel- or board-mount flanges are available for pigtailed devices.
