5v laser diode

The 5V laser diode is a compact light-emitting device that produces a coherent, monochromatic beam of light when powered with a 5V DC supply. Laser diodes are used in various applications including optical communication, measurement, and alignment tasks due to their precision and intensity.

Key Features:

• Compact and efficient design
• Produces a coherent and focused laser beam
• Operates at a constant 5V DC power supply
• Available in different wavelengths (e.g., red, green, blue) depending on the specific model
• Suitable for use in educational projects, experimental setups, and low-power applications

Technical Specifications:

• Operating Voltage: 5V DC
• Power Output: Varies by model, typically from 1mW to 10mW
• Wavelength: Depending on the diode, common wavelengths include:
  • Red (around 650 nm)
  • Green (around 532 nm)
  • Blue (around 450 nm)
• Current Consumption: Typically around 20-30 mA, but may vary based on power output
• Beam Divergence: Low beam divergence, resulting in a narrow and focused laser spot
• Package Type: Usually in a small TO-18 or similar metal can package
• Operating Temperature Range: Typically between -20°C to +60°C

Applications:

• Laser pointers for presentations and demonstrations
• Optical alignment and measurement tools
• Educational projects and experiments
• DIY electronics and hobbyist applications
• Low-power laser engraving

Usage:

1. Power Supply: Connect the laser diode to a stable 5V DC power source.
2. Cooling: Ensure adequate cooling if the laser diode is used continuously, as prolonged use may generate heat.
3. Safety: Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam. Use appropriate safety goggles if required.
4. Mounting: Securely mount the diode in a suitable housing or bracket to ensure stable operation and to protect the diode.

Caution:

• Handle the laser diode with care to avoid damage.
• Ensure proper power supply and connection to prevent overheating or damage.
• Follow all safety guidelines to prevent eye damage or other hazards.
