Laser Diode Modules are intended for the laser system original equipment manufacturer (OEM) offering a laser product to the public. These modules as sold are not FDA compliant. The manufacturer must add these compliances in his finished product to be legal for public sale in the USA. Our modules have output power ratings of 2.5-5 milliwatts (CLASS 3A) and from 5 to 150 milliwatts (CLASS 3B).

Compliances for CLASS 3B are:

Labeling As Shown

Remote Control Port

Aperture Shutter

Emission Indicator

Emission Delay

Key Switch with Non-Removal of Key in the On Position

S-GDL-532 Series Ultra-Small 10-150 milliwatt
Green Laser Diode Module

Our S-GDL laser is the smallest module on the market that can produce up to 150 milliwatts of continous 532 nm green laser beam which can actually burn an object at close range. Applications include use for small laser systems, laser scanning and alignment, aiming, surveying and display. Note that these modules will require cooling either by a fan or thermoelectric cooler if operated over 30 seconds at a time. Leads from the circuitboard are attached (soldered) to the laser diode. The circuitboard may also be attached to an aluminum heatsink.
