The SLD323V is a high power, gain-guided laser diode produced by MOCVD method. Compared to the SLD300 Series, this laser diode has a high brightness output with a doubled optical density which can be achieved by QW-SCH structure.
The SLD323V is a high‑power, gain‑guided laser diode from Sony, offering a recommended optical output of 1 W with low operating current (1.4 A). It is designed for solid‑state laser excitation, medical use, material processing and measurement applications.
The datasheet lists absolute maximum ratings, pin configuration, detailed electrical and optical characteristics, wavelength options, and package dimensions. Safety guidelines recommend infrared‑blocking goggles and optional IR monitoring equipment when handling the device.
| Recommended optical power output | 1.0 W |
|---|---|
| Maximum optical power output | 1.1 W |
| Reverse voltage (VRLD) | 2 V |
