Low-Cost Laser Modules in the OEM Market
LASER COMPONENTS offers the smallest laser modules which contain a laser diode, drive electronics, and optics all in a metal housing.
They can be operated directly with 3VDC without additional electronics. The integrated APC (automatic power control) electronics allow the laser diode to be operated automatically, giving the desired output power and increasing the life expectancy of the module. The smallest modules have a diameter of 3.3mm and a length of 7mm.
If you have a requirement for an inexpensive solution in large quantities, the LC LMD modules are the perfect choice. Typical applications for these laser diode modules include consumer products such as CD/DVD players, laser printers and barcode readers. These laser modules are reliable and have more than 10,000 hours MTTF.
