HL8325G
GaAlAs Laser Diode
Description
The HL8325G is a high-power 0.8
µm
band GaAlAs laser diode with a TQW (triple quantum well) structure. Its
internal circuit configuration is suitable for operation on a single positive supply voltage. It is suitable as a light
source for optical disk memories, card readers and various other types of optical equipment.
