These are made by Spectra Diode Labs (SDL) which is now part of JDS Uniphase. These are model number SDL-2360-C. They are unused and we have tested them to verify performance and wavelength. Specifications Package: C-Mount Open Heatsink Package CW Output Power: 1.2 W Center Wavelength: 808 (±3) nm Spectral Width: 2 nm Slope Efficiency: 0.9 W/A typ FWHM beam divergence: 12 degrees parallel, 32 degrees perpendicular to junction Threshold Current: 400mA typ Operating Current: 1.6A typ Click here for the complete data sheet for the 2300 series from the JDSU web site. There are several different diodes in the 2300 family. Be sure to look at the 2360 section for the correct data for this part. This would make an excellent pump diode for a DPSS laser system.  808nm works well for pumping Nd:YAG and Nd:YV04. With appropriate optics and crystals, you could get 100mW or more of 532nm green. This works great with the vanadate + KTP composite crystals made by Casix to produce 60 or more mW of green. Also, this diode will fit many commercial 20-100mW DPSS laser systems so it might be just the replacement you need to repair a weak or dead DPSS laser. As the warning label below shows, a small amount of the beam is emitted from the rear of the diode.  This is a fraction of a percent of the total power.  A small photodiode placed in this beam can be used to track output power. WARNING! This laser diode is very sensitive to static electricity and even a tiny zap that you can't feel can instantly destroy this device or degrade it's performance. You should always use a static strap when handling static sensitive devices such as this. This laser diode must be attached to a heat sink if before it is powered. Failure to keep the diode cool will dramatically reduce it's operating lifetime and may permanently damage it. The output of this laser diode is nearly invisible. Don't let this fool you - it is powerful enough to set things on fire and can cause burns and permanent eye damage. You should always wear appropriate safety goggles when working with high power laser devices such as this. By bidding on this item you agree that you have read and understand the above warnings. This laser diode is brand new and tested working, but is sold as-is with no warranty.To see other related items, be sure to Visit our eBay Store If you like what you see, you can Add Junktronix to your Favorite Sellers ListAbout Junktronix "One man's junk is another man's treasure" Junktronix has been buying and selling Silicon Valley Surplus electronics, photonics, optics, laser equipment, test gear, mechanical and robotics components and more since 1996.
