Product Bulletin 2.0 & 3.0 W, 798 to 800/808 to 812 nm High-brightness Laser Diodes SDL-2400 Series The SDL-2400 series laser diodes represent a breakthrough in high continuous wave (CW) optical power and ultra-high brightness with unsurpassed reliability. The small emitting aperture, combined with low beam divergence, makes the SDL-2400 series the highest-brightness family of CW laser diodes available in the industry today. The SDL-2400 series consists of partially coherent broad area emitters with relatively uniform emission over the emitting aperture. Operation is multi-longitudinal mode with a spectral envelope width of approximately 2 nm FWHM. The far field beam divergence in the plane perpendicular to the P/N junction is nearly Gaussian, while the lateral beam profile exhibits a multiple-transverse mode pattern typical of broad area emitters. SDL-2400 variants range from 2 W output from a 100 m aperture to 3 W from a 200 m aperture with superlative reliability. The high efficiency of the quantum well structure, combined with low thermal resistance epi-down chip mounting, provides minimum junction temperature at high optical power. Low junction temperature and low thermal resistance packages extend lifetime and increase reliability. Convenient package options such as open heatsink and window packages allow easy integration into user systems.

Avoid looking directly into the laser diode, into the collimated beam along its optical axis, or directly into the fiber when the device is in operation. CAUTION: THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD. Operating the laser diode 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 laser diodes may be damaged by excessive drive current or switching transients. When power supplies are used, the laser diode should be connected with the main power on and the output voltage at zero. The current should be increased slowly while the laser diode output power and the drive current are monitored. ESD PROTECTION - Electrostatic discharge is the primary cause of unexpected laser diode failure. Take extreme precaution to prevent ESD. Use wrist straps, grounded work surfaces and rigorous antistatic techniques when handling laser diodes. 21 CFR 1040.10 Compliance Because of the small size of these devices, each of the labels shown is attached to the individual shipping container. They are illustrated here to comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 as applicable under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
