Listing is for a brand new single Oclaro 700mW 638nm laser diode in a copper 12mm module with leads and G-2 lens. The 405-G-2 lens has been tested to give about around a 30% increase over the Aixiz three element glass lens. The copper module upgrade provides a huge  improvement  in thermal conductivity over the standard brass module for moving the heat away from the diode to your heatsink which gives a much more stable output from the diode.  

Oclaro HL63193 638nm 700mw Diode. 


Save yourself the headache of pressing and soldering. Just add heatsink and driver. The current must be limited the diode.(1100mA max suggested). Don't attempt to connect directly to a battery or you will damage this diode. This is the diode that everyone has been talking about. Modules are fully tested to be in working order and the leads will have the ends twisted and soldered together for ESD protection. Please use all ESD precautions and short your driver leads discharging any capacitors before hooking up your driver to this module.




Here is what you get. A single brand new module with leads including a case lead if you need it.

Oclaro 700mW 638nm Diode (HL63193MG)


I will start with a saying it looks like I was wrong about these. I had a sample in my hand a month ago which I destroyed after running it only for a few seconds before killing it via a stupid mistake. In my short glimpse of the beam profile I was sure the divergence was better than the Mitsu diodes but my testing tonight has made me question my sanity. Looks like I may have got a lot of peoples hopes up and I am sorry for that.

First thing I did was to compare it to a G71 diode both using a standard G-2 glass lens. While it is a fraction smaller when I actually measured it they are nearly the same.



So with that said lets get on with the power test.
