In common with all SLDs, the L11341 series exhibits very low coherency, especially compared to a typical laser diode. As well as this, unlike an LED, the emission area is very small. The L11341 series is available in a range of packages including Side-out OHS and Head-out OHS types.
These features make the L11341 series suitable for a wide range of applications including ophthalmology, optical gyroscopes, OCT and various measurements, fibre-optic and medical applications.
