Photonic Products is the authorised distributor of what is said to be World's first 642nm, 150mW, single longitudinal mode semiconductor laser diode with TE mode oscillation; the Opnext HL6385DG.
This laser diode from Opnext offers the highest optical output power on the market at a visible lasing wavelength of 642nm. Opnext's technology breakthrough was achieved with a new development process, a new waveguide structure and optimised structural parameter.

With its high output power providing exceptional clarity and visibility, the Opnext HL6385DG laser diode is fast becoming the industry standard red laser diode for use in laser light show systems, replacing less intense 660nm diodes.

The device itself is a single longitudinal mode diode with low aspect ratio (<2:1) which, coupled with the small emitting chip size (3x1µm), allows efficient combination of multiple diodes in high power RGB white light sources.

Opnext is a global leader in high-performance optical components. Technological achievements such as this set them apart from their competitors, said David McGuinness, Photonic Products Ltd. We are proud to offer such high quality laser diodes to our demanding customers.

This device can be delivered from stock with the most competitive volume pricing available to the market.

All Opnext laser diodes are registered with the FDA of the United States and each laser diode is classified into class II, IIIa, or IIIb, according to the combination of the optical output power and wavelength values. Opnext laser diodes are lead (pb) free in compliance with the RoHS Directive.
