Ushio begins production of new high-power 638nm LD to meet rising demand

In response to increasing demand from the show laser market, Ushio Inc. is beginning production of HL63373HD in October. This 638nm laser diode (LD) offers 1.0W (CW)/1.2W (pulse) of output, providing an advantageous combination of high output power and small emitter size. Achieving this level of output power from an emitter width of 40um maximizes the use of laser light within the optics. Offering an impressive wall-plug efficiency of 41%, HL63373HD is packaged in a high-heat dissipation 9mm CAN, delivering improved temperature performance in comparison to a 5.6mm CAN package.

Ushio begins production of new single-mode 670nm laser diodes

Ushio Inc. has begun the mass production of HL67191MG and HL67192MG, offering two new laser diodes (LDs) for operation at the 670nm wavelength. Providing output powers of 15mW (CW) and 30mW (pulsed), these single-mode LDs deliver high-temperature performance (up to 70°C) within a compact φ5.6mm can package. Both LDs achieve a low operating current of 30mA at 25°C (15mW in CW operation) and feature built-in monitoring photodiodes, creating high-reliability, cost-efficient devices ideal for battery-powered sensing and measuring equipment.
