COMMERCIAL LASERS Diode Lasers, Single-mode 50 to 200 mW, 810/830/852 nm 54xx Series Key Features * 200 mW kink-free power * Narrow spectral width * High efficiency * Low astigmatism * High reliability Applications * Illumination * Printing * Sensing * Medical applications * Imaging High-resolution applications including optical data storage, image recording, spectral analysis, printing, point-to-point free-space communications and frequency doubling all require diffraction-limited sources. Faster writing, wider dynamic range and better signal-to-noise ratio may be achieved with JDSU's high-reliability 5400 Series single-mode diode lasers. Available in power levels up to 200 mW kink-free, this advanced diode laser combines a quantum well structure and a real-refractive index-guided single-mode waveguide to provide high power, low astigmatism, narrow spectral width and a single spatial mode Gaussian far field. Our 5400 Series diode lasers are among the most reliable high-power diode lasers available in the industry today. The 5400 Series diode lasers operate in single longitudinal mode under some conditions. Like in all Fabry-Perot index-guided diode lasers, spectral broadening, mode hopping and longitudinal mode instability may occur due to small changes in drive current, diode-junction temperature or optical feedback. The unique diode structure features high reliability with long operating life and very low early failure rate. The highest brightness (20 MW/cm2 steradian) is provided by our 5430. north america : 800 498-JDSU (5378) worldwide : +800 5378-JDSU website : www.jdsu.com 54XX SERIES DIODE LASERS 2 Dimensions Diagram (Specifications in inches [mm] unless otherwise noted.)

Avoid looking directly into the diode laser or into the collimated beam along its optical axis when the device is in operation. CAUTION: THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD. Operating the diode laser outside of its maximum ratings may cause device failure or a safety hazard. Power supplies used with the component must be employed such that the maximum peak optical power cannot be exceeded. CW diode lasers may be damaged by excessive drive current or switching transients. When using power supplies, the diode laser should be connected with the main power on and the output voltage at zero. The current should be increased slowly while monitoring the diode laser output power and the drive current. Device degradation accelerates with increased temperature, and therefore careful attention to minimize the case temperature is advised. For example, life expectancy will decrease by a factor of four if the case is operated at 50C rather than 30C. A proper heatsink for the diode laser on a thermal radiator will greatly enhance laser life. Firmly mount the laser on a radiator with a thermal impedance of less than 2C/W for increased reliability. ESD PROTECTION - Electrostatic discharge is the primary cause of unexpected diode laser failure. Take extreme precaution to prevent ESD. Use wrist straps, grounded work surfaces and rigorous antistatic techniques when handling diode lasers. JDS Uniphase Corporation SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA Labeling MODEL: 95134 U. S. A.
