QD laser shows a new frequency-doubled 532 nm green laser diode

QD Laser is showing a new frequency-doubled 532 nm compact green laser diode. The device is housed in a module of approximately 0.5 cm³ total volume. The prototype module developed green light output of more than 100 mW under continuous wave conditions and high-speed modulation of above 100 Mhz. The linewidth of the output was less than 0.01 nm, and the 100 mW output power was obtained with power dissipation of about 900 mW, equating to a wall-plug efficiency of more than 10 percent.

QD Laser also revealed that they already started shipping samples of a 5 mW version of this module, and will start sample shipments of a module capable of over 50 mW in 2Q 2012. Mass production of the product is planned for 4Q 2012.
