Photonic – Versatile new 405nm wavelength stabilised laser diodes (ONDAX)

Sep 22 2009 - Switches, Relays & Onboard [More Switches, Relays & Onboard Articles]

A new range of 405nm wavelength stabilised laser diodes, manufactured by ONDAX, is now available from Photonic Products. They target applications such as Raman spectroscopy, flow cytometry and metrology / interferometry.

The 405nm blue-violet wavelength stabilised laser is a miniature laser in a standard TO 5.6mm package. The wavelength stabilisation is achieved by optical feedback using the ONDAX volume holographic grating (VHG) powerLocker which ensures a stable single longitudinal mode operation.

Features include wavelength stability (<0.015nm/C), single longitudinal mode, compact size (standard 5.6mm TO package), wavelength locked to <±1nm, coherence length (~0.6m) and it is hermetically sealed. The power locked laser has a very low temperature dependence and precise centre wavelength over the locked region which enhances its performance.

The range is also seen as ideal for use in data storage, embossed holograms, CD mastering, diffraction grating fabrication, confocal microscopy, particle counting, fluorescence, non-destructive testing, microlithography and high speed printing.

All ONDAX wavelength stabilised laser diodes are low cost, hermetically sealed, miniature lasers in a standard TO package. They are available from Photonic Products in standard wavelengths of 403, 405, 407, 640, 658, 685, and 785nm. They offer low temperature dependence (<0.03nm/C), single-mode narrow linewidth, compact size (5.6mm and 9mm standard TO package) and are wavelength locked to <±1nm, says the company.
