Request InfoWavelength Electronics Inc.The LDMOUNT laser diode mount from Wavelength Electronics Inc. is designed for optoelectronic modules in a 14-pin butterfly package that requires up to 5 A. Users can safely produce consistent, optimum power from a laser diode. A zero-insertion force socket holds the laser. Two nine-pin DSUB connectors enable TEC and laser driver control. Two basic butterfly laser diode types are supported. For any other pinout, the LDMOUNT-CU Card is available for hand wiring. The LDMOUNT is designed for use with laser diodes that have the laser diode anode grounded. As such, the laser diode cathode is...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 4/13/2023Linear Voice Coil Servo ActuatorsThe SDLM-025-095-01-01M and SDLM-025-095-01-01 linear direct-current servo actuators from Moticont are electric cylinders that feature high repeatability, high acceleration and deceleration, and zero...Photonics.com 5/8/2023Automotive Lidar ChipsetThe Komodo lidar point cloud processor application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip from Cepton improves lidar performance and reduces cost for mass-market adoption.
