905nm IR laser for industrial lidar

Osram has introduced a laser diode for industrial lidar.

Osram-SPLTL90AT03-industrial-laser-prod

SPL TL90AT03 emits 905nm infra-red and has been developed for short laser pulses – between 5
and 100ns – maximum duty cycle is 0.1%.

Optical output is 65W from a 110µm aperture (20A 100μs 1kHz) – said to be an efficiency of 34%.


There are three emitters inside the package – forward drop is typically 9.5V – with their separate intensities only detectable in the near field on one axis.


It comes in a three pin TO56 metal can with one pin not connected, and is also available as SPL UL90AT03 with the cathode on a different pin and the case connected to the third pin .
