ams Osram launches new green laser with high brightness, high performance and high reliability

     ams Osram, a leading global provider of optical solutions, announced the launch of the new PLT5 522EA_Q green laser, suitable for applications such as leveling, scanning, bioscience and point projection, with higher brightness than traditional red lasers. higher, easier to use, more reliable and more cost-competitive.

     While the industrial performance is comparable to that of red lasers, PLT5 522EA_Q achieves 4 times the perceived brightness of red lasers for the first time. The green laser has undergone rigorous lifetime and reliability testing, with a maximum operating temperature of 70°C, and a lifetime rating that meets the standard requirements of industrial equipment manufacturers.

     Thomas Brandes, Senior Marketing Manager at ams Osram, said: “Green laser beams offer better visibility compared to red laser beams, which means they are more popular in industrial applications such as construction, surveying and remote scanning. PLT5 The introduction of the 522EA_Q enables manufacturers to replace red lasers with green lasers without affecting any aspect of the product design."

     The new lasers are packaged in TO56 metal and are compatible with common drive topologies for red lasers. They are easy to use and require minimal modifications to existing product designs. Unlike the red laser, the PLT5 522EA_Q does not need to be baked, and the photodiode it uses is suitable for application scenarios that require eye safety.
