RED LASER MODULE 5mW 635nm

Solid-state laser module built around a semiconductor diode emitting at 635 nanometres, the same wavelength as a traditional helium-neon laser tube

SKU 8100-FR53EAN 8219671026734Item type: Assembled

Description

Solid-state laser module comprising a semiconductor diode emitting at 635 nanometers, the same wavelength as a traditional helium-neon laser tube. The emission is much more visible (5 to 10 times) than 670 nm laser diodes. The device integrates a collimator with a plastic lens and an electronic circuit for controlling the emitted power and stabilizing the supply voltage, allowing the module to be powered with a DC voltage between 3 and 6 volts. The module diameter is just 9 millimeters with a length of 20 mm.

Safety Standards

WARNING! This laser module belongs to Class 3R and is intended exclusively for industrial use by professionals and companies with specific expertise. Machines and devices built with such laser modules must be designed and constructed to avoid unintentional radiation and require adequate protections to ensure that neither the useful radiation, nor the radiation produced by reflection (or diffusion) and secondary radiation can harm health. Devices or equipment incorporating such modules must be certified, according to the applicable regulations, before being placed on the market or put into operation. The safety measures and control means to be adopted in the adjustment and modification of lasers and/or laser apparatus are specified in Standard CEI EN 60825-1 and CEI 76-2.
