With the launch of the new\u00a0PLT5-488<\/u><\/a>\u00a0from Osram there has been much interest in blue laser diodes<\/a> but what are the advantages of this laser diode and what applications does it address?<\/p>\n

Advantages of the new Blue Laser Diode<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0PLT5-488<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is a single mode device with an output power of 60mW, packaged in a 5.6mm can. The laser diode has an in-built monitor photodiode for power regulation and a zener diode for additional static discharge protection.<\/p>\n

This laser diode has commercial benefits, as well as technical benefits, as it offers a competitive alternative to DPSS lasers and other laser diodes currently available at this wavelength.<\/p>\n

Blue laser diode applications<\/h2>\n

The 488nm laser diode is ideal for demanding applications such as flow cytometry, medical diagnostics, DNA sequencing, bio-fluorescence and particle counting.<\/p>\n

The Osram blue laser diodes range<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0PLT5-488<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is an expansion to the range of blue laser diodes offered by Osram. The manufacturer also offers two laser diodes at 450nm, the\u00a0PL450B<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0PLTB450<\/u><\/a>, with output powers of 120mW and 1400mW respectively. These laser diodes<\/a> are ideal for a range of applications including laser projection, stage lighting, biomedical applications and metrology.<\/p>\n

Technical Support<\/h2>\n

With over 20 years\u2019 experience in the distribution of laser diodes, and in the design and manufacture of laser diode modules<\/a>; ProPhotonix is well positioned to advise you on the ideal laser diode for your application. If you require a packaged solution, ProPhotonix can offer a wide range of blue\u00a0laser diode modules<\/u><\/a>, or can work with you to develop a\u00a0custom laser diode module<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to suit your specific application.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
