With the standard version giving a boresight error of 0.4º and the ultrahigh-precision version giving 0.05º, they are eminently suitable for even the most demanding of applications. They have a lasing wavelength of 650nm, elliptical output beam of 2.7 x 6mm at 5 metres, beam divergence of 0.5mrad max, collimated output power of 5mW max, pointing stability of <0.2mrad/ºC and high bore sighting accuracy. Operating current is 30mA, threshold current is 20mA and operating temperature range is from -10ºC to +70ºC. These miniature laser diode collimators have been designed as a complete low cost, high volume system for OEM use. They consist of an anodised aluminium housing, 5.6mm diameter laser diode and collimating lens in a lightweight 6mm cylindrical package. Electrical connections are made via the laser diode pins. The lens may be factory-set to produce either a collimated beam or focused spot. Direct access to the laser diode and photodiode connections provide maximum flexibility in the configuration of the electrical interface. Drive electronics can be supplied if required. Other wavelengths and output powers are available on request. Miniature Laser Diode Collimators
