The L637P5 by ThorLabs is a high-quality laser diode that comes packaged in a TO-can design. With a compact size of Ø5.6 mm and a convenient C pin code, the L637P5 is compatible with a wide range of mounts and controllers, making it ideal for various applications.
The L637P5 features an output power of 5W, a center wavelength of 637 nm, and has a variable wavelength that can differ from unit to unit. This laser diode is also temperature-tunable, allowing for precise adjustments to the lasing wavelength. It is important to have caution when operating the laser diode because of its sensitivity to electric shock. Additionally, the L637P5 is prone to optical feedback, which can lead to fluctuations in output power that could impact its performance in some applications. To avoid this issue, optical isolators can be used to ensure a stable output power.
