What is an infrared laser module?

Infrared(IR) laser is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) laser with wavelength longer than other visible lasers and shorter than radio wave, which covers a wide range wavelength of 700nm to 1700nm. A typical used infrared laser module consists of a infrared laser diode, a electric driving circuit board, a collimating lens. Configured with high duration and ultra compact structure design and good thermal emitting system, it always enables high level of beam stability, competitive price, and high capability.

Infrared laser light is projecting invisible IR laser radiation among those of non visible optical spectrum, typical including 780nm, 795nm, 808nm, 820nm, 830nm, 850nm, 905nm, 930nm, 940nm, 980nm, 1064nm, 1310nm, 1470nm IR lasers.

Built in APC, ACC driving circuit board is in need to ensure constant output power and electric power source for infrared laser modules. According to real need, users should choose appropriate IR laser with correct operating voltage power supply and output power. Daily constant work time of IR laser should be controlled within 8 to 10 hours, which can still maintain up to 85% IR laser beam stability. Higher or lower operating voltage electric power source might not support IR laser correctly, or cause damage or decrease the longevity of laser. It is important to pay high attention to output power, which should not peak power, but the average output power.

What types of infrared lasers are available at Berlin Lasers?

Not limited by creation of multi mode and single mode infrared laser diode, Class IIIa 808nm and 980nm 5mW infrared laser pointer, Berlin Lasers also developed industrial and high tech professional used infrared laser modules within wide range output power of 5mW to 1000mW, infrared diode laser system and multimode fiber-couple infrared laser modules.

What is application of infrared laser?

infrared laser applications chartOwing to invisible infrared laser beam emission, infrared laser module is applicable for various night version fields.

Security system: IR laser is used to trigger security system camera, which can detect someone within a focused field.

Military targeting and positioning: military used night version infrared laser instrument to convert light photons into amplified visible electrons and bring details out of darkness. Someone else cannot observe infrared laser light at all. IR laser light is helpful for high precision guiding munitions, which is making effective job for clear and quick indication at live targets without observed.

Temperature measurement: infrared laser projects intense and high density infrared laser light, which can aim at an object so as to measure electromagnetic radiation emitting of the measured object surface.

Laser medical therapy: infrared laser provides ideal IR laser light source for laser medical application fields, including acne removal, skin wrinkle removing, skin ablation, and laser medial surgery etc.

Optical communications: far infrared laser modules within wavelength of 1310nm, 1550nm and 1625nm is applicable for fiber optical communication works.

On basis of different requirement, infrared laser module users should choose appropriate output power and wavelength. It also makes good job for infrared laser illuminator, night version firearms, night photography, semiconductor inspection, ship bridges, aircraft manufacturing, submarine control panels, indicator displayer for low light working occasion etc.

What is the safety issue of infrared laser module?

Infrared laser projects invisible infrared laser beam that human eyes cannot capture at all, while human eyes gets easy absorption of such laser light. Any powerful IR laser radiation and reflection might also cause thermal energy hurt to human eyes. Correct wavelength preventing laser safety goggles and windows are recommended for the use of such laser.
