SPECTRA OF NIR LASERS


This web page will be for nothing but spectra of lasers.
Ocean Optics USB2000 Spectrometer donated by P.L.
As of 10-10-07, I've been using a PC2000-ISA Spectrometer from Ocean Optics that I received several years ago, but that I didn't have a home for until now.
As of 03-08-08, I once again have the USB2000 spectrometer, enabling color spectra again.





LASERS (or "LAZERS" if you prefer to be incorrect):


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the 490nm line from the 980nm Laser Pen.



Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the 490nm line from the 980nm Laser Pen; spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 475nm and 505nm to pinpoint emission, which consists of two lines at 489.060nm and 491.50nm.

Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the 300mW 780nm Diode Laser Module; newest (03-25-12) spectrometer software settings used. Spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 780nm and 790nm to pinpoint wavelength, which is nm.
As you can see, this laser's wavelenth is 785.777nm.


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser just above lasing threshold.
Spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 806nm and 812nm.


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser well below lasing threshold.
Spectrometer's response restricted to a band between 760nm and 840nm.


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser after intentional ignorance of the duty cycle recommendation to check for wavelength drift -- which was indeed found -- but it drifted shorter this time.

Spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 800nm and 820nm.


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser after intentional ignorance of the duty cycle recommendation; spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 806nm and 812nm.

This now shows that the wavelength has shortened to 808.480nm and the spectral line halfwidth is ~2.960nm (whereas these values were 810.30nm and the spectral line halfwidth was ~3.60nm when last measured).


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser after inadvertant ignorance of the duty cycle recommendation to check for wavelength drift -- which was indeed found.

Spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 800nm and 820nm.

This shows that the wavelength has lengthened to 810.30nm and the spectral line halfwidth is ~3.60nm (whereas these values were 807.95nm and ~3.80nm when new).


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser.
Wavelength appears to be ~808nm, which is ***WELL*** within specification for the type of laser diode used in this laser.


Spectrographic analysis
Spectrographic analysis of the LZGN-808-500 808nm 500mW Focusable Infrared Laser; but spectrometer's response narrowed to a band between 800nm and 820nm.
