Laser Diodes & Sources
The 850nm 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. Single mode Fabry Perot (FP) laser with PM780 fiber pigtail. CW or pulsed operation, 0.5ns rise time. Low threshold current and high slope efficiency Operating temperature range -40°C to +50°C. Wavelength/temperature coefficient 0.3nm/°C Built-in monitor photodiode, thermo-electric cooler and thermistor. Optional FC/PC or FC/APC connectors.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
850nm Butterfly Laser Diode - 100mW: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 850nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (Hi780, SM800, PM780, PM850) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: Hi780, SM800, PM780, PM850 · 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: 850nm. 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.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
