DL5146-101S In Stock

The DL5146-101S by ThorLabs is a high-performance TO can laser diode that has a diameter of Ø5.6 mm and features a standard B pin code configuration, which simplifies the process of identifying mounts that are compatible with the diode. With an optical output power of 40 mW and a center wavelength of 405 nm, the DL5146-101S is capable of delivering stable and consistent performance.

Although the center wavelength of the DL5146-101S is a typical number and can vary from unit to unit, the temperature-tuning capability makes it possible to fine-tune the performance of the diode to meet specific requirements. The DL5146-101S operates at a single transverse mode, which delivers a lower output power compared to its multimode operational counterparts.. However, it's important to note that laser diodes have an electrostatic shock sensitivity, and proper handling precautions should be taken to avoid damage. Another factor to consider when working with laser diodes is optical feedback, which has the possibility of causing significant output power fluctuations from application to application.
