5.6mm, 9mm and VCSEL
Laser Diodes
Thorlabs offers an extensive selection of
discreet laser diodes in 5.6mm, 9mm and
VCSEL packages. Ranging in wavelengths
from 405nm to 1550nm, we have a diode
to work in nearly any application. Our
selection of 5.6mm and 9mm diodes
includes both Fabry-Perot and DFB lasers
in a variety of standard pin configurations.
Most of our lasers are fully compatible
with our entire line of laser diode and TEC
controllers as well as our selection of Laser
Diode Mounts (See Pages 459).
