Features

Laser Diode Collimators with elliptical Gaussian beam profile with RS232 interface.
  • Laser Diode Collimator 55CM/55CR
    • Collimated beam diameters (truncated below the 13.5%-level) max. 13 mm
    • Angled version: 55CR

Description

Laser Diode Collimators transform the divergent light of a laser ­diode into a collimated beam, while maintaining the Gaussian ­intensity distribution and the intensity profile of the laser diode. They differ in max. diameter of the collimated beam.

55CM 
The Laser Diode Collimators type 55CM/55CR produce collimated beams with Gaussian beam profile while maintaning the intensity profile of the laser diode - in this case elliptical. 

Electronics
The laser has integrated electronics for control of the laser output power. The output power can be controlled using the modulation input ports (TTL and analog) or manually using the potentiometer.

RS232 interface
The lasers are equipped with an RS232 interface for laser control and data read-out. It provides e.g. control of ­laser power or allows to switch the laser ON and OFF and it allows to read and store critical data, like the hours of operation or the laser current for maintenance planning purposes.

Adjustment of collimation settings
The collimation can be adjusted by using a hex key for series 55CM/55CR. Please note that this affects beam parameters like collimated beam diameter and beam divergence.

These high quality lasers can e.g. be used for machine vision applications.
