The S05LM9 and S1LM9 laser diode mounts are designed for mounting 5.6 mm or 9 mm laser diodes directly into our SM05 or SM1 lens tube systems, respectively. Both laser diode mounts are packaged with one aluminum adapter and two black retaining rings; if using the mount with a 9 mm diode, simply use the thinner black retaining ring to secure the diode into place. Alternatively, if the mount is to be used with a 5.6 mm diode, the aluminum adapter is first placed inside the main housing; then, the 5.6 mm diode is secured into place using the thicker black retaining ring. These mounts are designed such that the laser diode is aligned to the optical axis of the lens tube, enabling easy assembly of lens tube-based setups. We recommend using the SPW801 spanner wrench, together with an SM05RR (SM1RR) retaining ring, to lock the S05LM9 (S1LM9) laser diode mount into the lens tube.

      To operate and control these laser diodes, please see our line of laser diode current and temperature controllers. If your application requires mounting a temperature controlled laser diode into a lens tube setup, please see the LDM21 and TCLDM9 lens tube-compatible temperature controlled laser diode mounts for standard and high power laser diodes, respectively.
