Green laser diode suited for biomedical applications and laser projection

Sharp Microelectronics GH05230H2K Green Laser Diode, available now from Mouser, is optimised for biomedical applications and laser projection.

The device provides a 520nm (±5nm) wavelength and a 30mW typical optical output power. This single-mode Laser Diode provides a typical 30mW output power with a 6.5V operating voltage and a 70mA operating current. The device is housed in a rugged Φ5.6mm TO-CAN package.

Depending on the mode of operation, the laser Diode emits highly-concentrated visible and non-visible light, which can be hazardous to the human eye. Products incorporating this device must follow the safety precautions given in IEC 60825-1.

Typical application areas include projection, bioanalytical, imaging, machine vision, alignment, and laser pointers.
