Description
This model of single-frequency (SLM) 405 nm lasers is widely used in compact Raman spectrometers. Small footprint and +5VDC (USB typical) operating voltage is exactly what's needed for handheld portable devices. Integrated precision driver electronics ensure low-noise and very stable operation throughout the wide temperature range. 405 violet radiation features high energy photons, therefore much lower power is enough for efficient excitation of fluorescence or Raman scattering.
This free-space laser can be supplied with an integrated optical isolator and a clean-up filter.

1 Measured with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer having 7.5 Mhz resolution, with scanning frequency of about 10 Hz. Interferometer testing is not provided for each laser being manufactured, the standard test is OSA measurement with 10-20 pm resolution instead.
2 The output power of SLM lasers shall not be tuned and SLM performance is not guaranteed at power ratings other than factory preset. However, the power setting capability is not disabled. External attenuators are recommended instead.
3 Long term power test is carried out using an optical power meter with an input bandwidth of 10 Hz. Actual measurement rate has a period of about 20 seconds to 1 minute.
4 Long term power test is carried out using an optical power meter with an input bandwidth of 10 Hz. Actual measurement rate has a period of about 20 seconds to 1 minute.
5 Noise level is measured with a fast photodiode connected to an oscilloscope. The overall system bandwidth is from 2 kHz to 20 MHz.
6 For lasers without integrated optical isolators.
7 SLM lasers shall not be modulated - use external modulators instead.
8 Excluding control interface pins and an output window/fiber assembly.
9 Whichever occurs first. The laser has an integrated operational hours counter.
