Industrial Fiber Optics was the first company to recognize the benefits, and develop a product line, of diode lasers for educational use. Today, we offer five models of lab-sized (semiconductor) diode lasers and one miniature model with rechargeable batteries. Our diode lasers are unequaled to others by their many features such as high quality optics, well collimated laser beam, solid state electronics, great packaging, excellent operators manual and long warranty.

Our RL diode laser series are ideal for conducting voice and audio optical transmission experiments as well as many common laser and optical experiments. (We do not recommend diode lasers for high quality interferometric experimentation or holography.) We offer a Class II and Class IIIa power level, both of which have highly visible 635 nm red, collimated laser beams.

The IF RL08 635 is a laser with a CDRH Class II power level. Electrical connections for the analog and digital inputs are industry-standard, durable banana jacks and 3.5 mm audio jack for audio/ microphone inputs. This laser features an externally-adjustable, internal electronic amplifier with a variable gain from 1 to 50 making it suitable for low-voltage microphone outputs and higher amplitude signals from AM/FM radios and CD players.

Laser includes 110 VAC to 14 VDC power adapter and full-color operator's manual with common procedures and safety information.

Features:

  • Semiconductor diode laser for long dependable life
  • Linear polarized light beam
  • Glass collimating optics for superior optical beam quality
  • All solid-state electronic design
  • Internal overdrive protection on inputs
  • Analog and digital modulation capabilities
  • Variable gain on analog input
  • Fool-proof mechanical beam stop
  • Impact-resistant, transparent, acrylic case
  • Threaded mounts for holding lenses, filters and diffraction gratings
  • Tripod mount – 1/4 - 20 thread
  • Rubber feet on chassis bottom for adhesion on slick lab surfaces
  • Tamper-resistant screws for safety
  • Labeling and safety requirements compliant with U.S. CDRH regulations
  • 110- and 220-VAC electrical voltage options
  • 4-year warranty

 

Suitable for experiments such as:

  • Viewing refraction in optical materials
  • Demonstrating angle of incidence and reflection with mirrored surfaces
  • Tyndall's light-guiding-in-water experiments
  • Voice and audio transmission
  • Laser leveling experiments
  • Light shows
  • Bar code scanning
  • Particle counting
  • Polarization
  • Scattering of light by small suspended particles
  • Critical angle determination in materials
  • Convergence and divergence in optical lenses

See Operators Manual for details on specifications, electrical jacks/plugs and set-up instructions.

* This product is only sold through our educational distribution network.

Also available in a Class IIIa power level.
