This listing is for one brand new authentic Sharp GH05130C2GL high-power 515nm green laser diode.
Key Specifications:
- Wavelength: 515 nm (515–520 nm range)
- Optical Output: 35 mW CW rated (30–35 mW typical)
- Can be over-driven in pulsed or carefully managed operation (advanced users only)
- Package: TO-18 / Φ5.6 mm (stem isolated)
- Operating Current: ~80–110 mA (for rated power) – significantly higher for over-drive with proper cooling
- Operating Voltage: ~5.5–7.0 V
- Operating Temperature: -10°C to +60°C (requires excellent heatsinking)
- Module & Lens Options Available
Copper modules with hybrid copper/aluminum back half for superior heat dissipation
Glass lens choices: Anti-Reflective (AR) coated lens, G2 lens, or G8 lens
Popular Applications
Ideal for laser projection, laser shows, fluorescence excitation, scientific experiments, holography, biomedical applications, precision pointing, and true 515nm green wavelength uses.
Critical Safety & Handling – Buyer Assumes All Responsibility
This is a high-power laser diode. Improper use will destroy it instantly.
- Use a quality constant-current laser diode driver only. Never connect directly to a battery or unregulated supply.
- Must be mounted in a proper laser module with adequate heatsinking before powering on.
- Always use a glass lens and keep the diode window and lens completely clean.
- Mandatory: Wear certified 515nm laser safety goggles with high optical density.
- Over-driving significantly increases the risk of damage and shortens diode lifetime. Monitor temperature and current closely.
- Reverse polarity or excessive heat will ruin the diode.
- Each diode is fully tested for functionality before shipping.
Shipping & Returns
