Diode Laser

A diode laser is, as suggested by its name, a laser made from a laser diode. Often times, these two terms are used interchangeably. Below is a list of common laser wavelengths produced by diode lasers and its applications.

• 405 nm - used in Blu-ray and HD DVD players, visible blue violet laser


• 635 nm - red lasers ( the 635nm wavelength is ideal for making red lasers, 635nm red lases are brighter than both 650nm and 670nm red lasers. )


• 650 nm - DVD players, 650nm red lasers


• 670 nm - red lasers ( used primarily for cheap red lasers)


• 780 nm - CD players


• 808 nm - pump for DPSS lasers (that is, our high power green lasers)


• 980 nm - pump for optical amplifiers and DPSS lasers


• 1064 nm - fiber optic communication


• 1310 nm - fiber optic communication


• 1480 nm - pump for optical amplifiers


• 1550 nm - fiber optic communication


• 1625 nm - fiber optic communication, service channel
