Recommended supply voltage is 7. Higher voltage can lead to overheating of the driver. Before turning on the power supply, make sure that all cables are connected correctly. The electrical characteristics of the laser diode result in a voltage across the diode and that voltage is dependent on wavelength, optical power, and the type of laser diode. This same control circuit also provides analogue modulation with speeds in excess of 750kHz The output intensity will faithfully replicate any arbitrary. These specifications are for the Necsel blue direct emitting package. Mouser offers inventory, pricing, & datasheets for Blue Laser Diodes. The laser diode which emits 445nm laser light, is assembled as Chip on Submount, CoS package.
