FLC CW Laser Diodes (Wavelength Range: Visible @405nm-495nm)

FLC™ CW Laser Diodes (Wavelength Range: Visible @405nm-495nm)

MSE Supplies provides CW Laser Diodes (Wavelength Range: Visible @405nm-495nm) produced by Frankfurt Laser Company. Continuous-wave (CW) laser diodes are commonly used in telecommunications, medical applications, industrial processing, and scientific research due to their ability to produce a continuous and stable laser beam, ensuring precise, reliable, and consistent performance. Their versatility and efficiency make them invaluable in various fields, including consumer electronics, printing, imaging, and metrology.

Visible lasers excel in precision, brightness, and versatility. They are essential in manufacturing settings where accurate cutting is needed, in medicine for surgeries like LASIK and diagnostics. Their high visibility makes them ideal for pointers, alignment tools, and surveys. They are crucial in optical communication, entertainment light shows, measurement tools like rangefinders and LIDAR. Additionally, they are valuable in scientific research and education for their consistent and precise light output.

Single-mode lasers are specialized lasers designed to support only one transverse and one longitudinal mode, resulting in a highly coherent and precise beam. These lasers typically operate in the fundamental transverse mode, known as TEM00, which has a Gaussian intensity distribution. This mode is characterized by a single-lobed, symmetric profile, making it ideal for applications requiring high precision and beam quality.

When a laser operates in multimode, it supports and emits multiple transverse and/or longitudinal modes simultaneously. In the case of transverse multimode, the laser beam comprises a mixture of different spatial modes, leading to a more complex and often less desirable beam profile compared to a single-mode beam.
