High-power blue laser diode
11 July 2012
Opto-Electronics
Mounted in a compact TO56 package, the new high-power laser diode PL TB450 from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors features an optical power of 1,4 W. It is thus well suited for high-quality projectors in the professional field. Other applications reach from laser systems for stage and decoration illumination to medical applications.
Professional projectors with a luminous flux of more than 1000 lumen are the main area of application for the device. With its wavelength of 450 nm it produces exactly the wanted blue, and with 1,4 W (at room temperature and a current of 1,2 A) it gives the high optical power required. Thanks to its efficiency of 27%, the temperature of the laser will rise only slightly. Hence it boasts a long service life – depending on its use up to 10 000 hours at 40°C in continuous operation.
