Newport introduces an extensive list of Fabry-Perot TO-Can laser diode products in the 5.6 mm (TO-56) or 9 mm (TO-9) package from leading manufacturers. All the models carried by Newport are single mode, which ensures focusing into a small spot size, high coupling into optical fibers, and good collimation, as opposed to multimode lasers. With Newport’s industry renowned laser mount, laser diode drivers and temperature controllers you can easily build a reliable and low noise laser system with maximum output power and wavelength flexibility. For added convenience Newport offers the 6100 which is a combination laser diode driver and temperature controller.

Also available are laser diode systems, modules and fiber pigtailed laser diodes. Backed by 30 day return-for-credit with the products returned in the original sealed bag with no physical damage.

Maximum Flexibility

Newport supplies all the necessary equipment to drive the lasers. You can build a complete laser system with the following products ensuring maximum flexibility in your experiment or design:
• Laser Mount: Newport offers well-designed laser mounts accommodating both the TO-56 and TO-9 package laser diodes on a single mount (see Model 710 TEC Controlled TO-CAN Laser Diode Mount).
• Laser Diode Driver: A laser diode requires a specialty current source to ensure the best performance and protection. Newport’s low power laser diode drivers are known for high reliability and performance (see Laser Diode Driver).
• Temperature Controller: Keeping the laser at operating temperature is of essence to ensure long diode life time. Also, some lasers are wavelength tuned by adjusting the laser temperature. Therefore, an accurate temperature controller like Newport’s 300B Series (see Laser Diode Thermoelectric Temperature Controller) can be an essential part of your setup.
• Cabling and Accessories: Newport also offers matching cables for the mount and the instruments along with collimating and coupling optics and mounts (see Electrical Cables and Accessories).

Caution on Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Each individual laser diode is tested and characterized, and guaranteed to operate, prior to shipment, by the renowned laser diode manufactures. The bare laser diodes are highly sensitive to ESD and it can happen from mundane activities such as connecting electrical cables. A grounding wrist strap, such as the FK-STRAP , is recommended when handling the laser diode.
