Laser Diodes & Sources
485nm Butterfly Laser Diode
The 485nm series laser diodes are fabricated in a hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package. The laser diodes contain a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), and a thermistor to secure high-quality laser performance. The Laser Diodes Wavelength of 485±10nm, Output power: ≥20mW, Pigtail Type: 405-HP(Nufern) fiber with 900um loose tube, 1.0+/-0.1m, FC/APC connector. Our laser products are Telcordia GR-468 qualified and in compliance with RoHS Directives.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect 485nm Butterfly Laser Diode to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SM400, SM450, PM400, PM460 · Fiber Buffer: 900µm Tube
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 485nm
- Check the Laser Diodes & Sources passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
