The BLUE MAX LD2445 laser diode delivers 440 to 445-nm light at a power of 1 W, and is priced under $400 in single quantities. Housed in a standard 5.6-mm package, the diode presents a substantial savings over 1-W diode-pumped solid-state lasers.
The diode is also available as a complete 4 x 4 x 6-in. OEM module with a collimator to narrow the beam waist to less than 1 mm. An additional optical assembly can reduce the divergence even further, keeping spot size under 10 mm over extended distances The input to the module is 100 to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz. (Diode, less than $300 ea / large qty; certified module, less than $1,200 ea / OEM qty — available now.)
