Opnext offer built-in monitor photodiode 660nm high power red laser diode

On February 15, 2012, Fremont California - the United States of America business information - Opnext month launched with a built-in monitor photodiode 660nm high power laser. Opnext HL65051DG red laser diode, is for the lidar ( laser imaging detection and ranging ), plastic optical fiber ( POF ) communication application and design, by monitoring the laser performance and real-time adjustment of output power, to achieve best product performance and output.

Using a unique patented design for HL65051DG red laser diodes, and published last January in the same with a built-in monitoring ability of the HL63142DG to the Opnext together with the laser diode series. The built-in monitor can let the system designer, through a monitoring photodiode current and regulating the temperature and power supply variations to control its optical properties. In laser imaging detection and ranging applications and POF communications applications, performance monitoring for the maintenance of constant power output of the laser is became an essential function. HL65051DG operating temperature up to 60℃.

Opnext equipment business department President Tadayuki Kanno said: " we expect to see the industrial areas of application for such high quality laser products initial needs, current industry trends are predisposed to high power and low loss of the laser diode, and Opnext has been in constant innovation, promote the key performance in market development.
