MiniLaseSC TM
Super-Compact Red & IR
Diode Laser Modules
Featuring
Well-Collimated Circular Beams
Performances
The MiniLaseSCTM Family of lasers from Blue Sky Research has been specifically
designed to offer superior beam qualities in a super-compact package for OEM applications.
The MiniLaseSCTM products combine Blue Sky Research’s VPS (virtual point source) lasers
with high quality glass optics, solid packages and laser drive electronics to offer a circular,
diffraction-limited collimated beam with a lower divergence, thus tighter spot at distance than
any regular diode laser, given the same outer dimension. The built-in automatic power
stabilization (APC) function provides high stability and low noise as well as the current limit
function to ensure the battery life. Properly used with a heat sink, modules have typical
lifetimes, (MTTF, Mean Time to Failure) of +10,000 hrs.

This component does not comply with the Federal Regulations (21 CFR Subchapter1) as administered by the Center for Devices and Radiological health. Purchaser
acknowledges that his/her products must comply with these regulations before they can be sold to a customer. The output light from laser diodes is harmful to a human
body even if it is invisible. Avoid looking at the output light of a FiberTEC directly or even indirectly through a lens during operation. Observance of operation should
be through a TV camera or related equipment. Refer to IEC 825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10-1040.11 as a radiation safety standard for laser products.
