The 514 nm narrow graded green laser diode of ams OSRAM is an ideal choice for life science applications

     The 514 nm (± 1 nm) laser diode of ams OSRAM is a non customized standard product, which enables scientific and measurement equipment manufacturers to replace the argon ion laser traditionally used to generate 514.5 nm peak wavelength laser emission. PLT5 522FA_ Semiconductor lasers such as P-M12 are generally more cost-effective than argon ion lasers, with smaller volume, longer service life and no need for cumbersome water cooling mechanisms. Single mode laser diode weighs only a few grams, while argon ion laser cooling and power supply require several kilograms.

     In the past, 514 nm transmitter modules based on laser diodes were produced, and it was necessary to customize laser diodes with specific wavelength classifications, which required a lot of logistical organization, thus hindering the production of such transmitter modules. The 514 nm laser diode enables customers to use VBG (Volume Bragg Grating) or external cavity design to generate narrow bandwidth, further reducing the bandwidth to less than 0.1 nm, suitable for applications including Raman spectroscopy and holography.

     Laser diode PLT5 522FA of ams OSRAM_ P has an optical power output of 50 mW at 514 nm ± 1 nm (Bin M12) and is compatible with fluorescent dyes in the 514 nm range and various third-party lenses.
