Important notes of operation for laser diode

a) Electrical operation
OSRAMs laser diodes are designed for maximum performance and reliability. Operating the laser diode above the
maximum rating even for very short periods of time can damage the laser diode or reduce its lifetime. The laser diode
must be operated with a suitable power supply with minimized electrical noise.
The laser diode is very sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Proper precautions must be taken.

b) Mounting instructions
In order to maintain the lifetime of the laser diode proper heat management is essential. Due to the design of the laser
diode heat is dissipated only through the base plate of the diode‘s body. A proper heat conducting interconnection
between the diodes base plate and the heat sink must be maintained.
