The FCD488 is a continuous wave 10, 20 and 25 mW 488 nm solid-state laser, featuring fiber-based architecture. The package contains both the optical elements of the laser and the control electronics, allowing full control and diagnostics of the laser system through an analog interface and RS232 interface. Powered by an external 5 V DC power supply, the laser is cost-efficient, reliable, and compact, with excellent electrical and thermal efficiency. It has a low heat load, so the laser operates without a heat sink.
The FCD488 is a continuous‑wave solid‑state laser available in free‑space and fiber‑delivered versions. It integrates optics and electronics in a single housing, requires only a 5 V DC supply, and operates without a heat sink, offering high reliability through telecom‑style packaging.
Key specifications include selectable output powers of 10 mW, 20 mW or 25 mW, wavelength stability at 488 nm, low noise (<0.5 %), and environmental tolerances such as operating temperatures from 10 °C to 45 °C. The laser complies with EN 55022 and EN 61326 standards and is covered by a twelve‑month or 5,000‑hour warranty.
