These broad area emitters haveexcellent reliability and good quantumefficiency. Single emitters from 75 µm to380 µm junction length are standard. Otherwavelengths from 635 nm to 1064 nm,along with both linear and stacked arrays,are available on special order.The 905 nm laser may be overdriven at nar-rower pulse widths using Pod = Po * F, whereF = (200/pw) ^ 0.5. For pulse width <20 ns,F = 3. Standard packages include 5.6mm,9mm, TO18 coaxial, and TO5 twin lead.Options include fiber pigtails. R0 detectors areavailable in some packages for range findingapplications. Applications include hand heldrangefinders, laser speed detectors, ceilome-ters, weapons simulation, and proximity fuses.

Contact an applications engineer for additional information.Shown below are typical circuit diagrams for drivers utilizing SCRs or FETs. Leads inthe high current loop must be kept as short as possible to reduce series inductance.Figure 1. Typical FET Driver CircuitFigure 2. Typical SCR Driver CircuitSafety Aluminum Gallium Arsenide lasers emit infrared radiation. This radiation isinvisible to the human eye and safety precautions must be taken to prevent potentialeye damage. Do not view or stare at operating lasers. If viewing is required, use amatte surface or suitable viewing screen.
