HL7859MG
Visible High Power Laser Diode
ADE-208-229D (Z)
5th Edition
Dec. 2000
Description
The HL7859MG is a 0.78
µm
band GaAlAs laser diode with a multi-quantum well (MQW) structure. It is
suitable as a light source for optical disc memories and various other types of optical equipment. Hermetic
sealing of the small package (φ 5.6 mm) assures high reliability.
