At just 1.9mm high, the space-saving package is insignificantly larger than an SMD-only solution.
The sealed SMD laser source is currently available for the 655nm wavelength and delivers 10mW of laser power at an operating current of 25mA.
“ADL-65074zl is the first laser diode that combines the advantages of SMD mounting and TO56 packaging,” said Manuel Herbst, product engineer at LASER COMPONENTS. “It is quite possible that this solution will soon become the new industry standard.”
