Near-IR laser has therapeutic effects

Photonic Products has expanded its range of laser diode modules with the near-infra-red PM606-P Photon laser module which uses the first 705nm semiconductor laser diode from Opnext.

This is an innovative laser diode module; a lasing wavelength of 705nm is new to the market.

The PM606-P Photon laser module is primarily designed for use in low-level laser therapy, biometric sensors, fluorescence sensing and other applications which benefit from the laser module's high reliability, low operating current requirement and high output power.

It is also ideal for energy-efficient, low-power optical measurement applications.

The PM606-P Photon laser module has optical output power of 25mW with power stability of better than 5% at a lasing wavelength of 705nm, low operating current of 75mA, low operating voltage range of 2.7 to 6V, beam size of 4 x 2mm and beam divergence of 0.6 x 0.3mrad.

The operating temperature range is -10 to +60C.

The PM606-P Photon laser module consists of an aluminium housing, Opnext 705nm laser diode, drive circuit and collimating lens.

The lens may be adjusted to produce either a collimated beam or focused spot.

The standard lens may be replaced by other optical systems such as line generators.

The module can be supplied in various colours (red, green, blue, black, violet), to assist in wavelength or power identification.

The Photon PMF606-P module has a 25mm mounting flange.

Electrical connections are made via external flying leads.

"We are proud to add this cutting-edge laser diode module to our range", said Damon Cookman, Managing Director, Photonic Products.

"Photonic Products continues to innovate and produce high quality laser modules to meet the increasing demands of the biomedical market".
