730nm Butterfly Laser Diode - 20mW
The 730nm series laser diodes are fabricated in a hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package. The laser diodes contain a monitor photodiode, thermoelectric cooler (TEC), and a thermistor to secure high-quality laser performance. Our laser products are Telcordia GR-468 qualified and in compliance with RoHS Directives. A matching driver is available in either a compact module or benchtop turn-key unit. Fabry Perot single mode laser. CW or pulsed operation. Operating temperature range -10°C to +60°C. Wavelength/temperature coefficient 0.2nm/°C Built-in monitor photodiode, thermo-electric cooler, and thermistor. Single mode (Corning HI780, NA=0.14, MFD=4.5um@780nm) or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber pigtail. Optional FC/PC or FC/APC connector.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect 730nm Butterfly Laser Diode - 20mW 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: Hi780, PM780 · 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: 730nm
- 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.
Technical FAQ
Integration questions for 730nm Butterfly Laser Diode - 20mW
Which fiber and connector does the 730nm Butterfly Laser Diode - 20mW use?
Fiber Type: Hi780, PM780 · 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.
How should the 730nm Butterfly Laser Diode - 20mW be included in an optical power budget?
Wavelength: 730nm. 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.
