FOR OPTICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
TYPE
NAME
ML60116R , ML64116R
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
ML6XX16 is a high power AlGaAs semiconductor laser which
provides a stable, single transverse mode oscillation with
emission wavelength of 785nm and standard light output of
30mW.
ML6XX16 is produced by the MOCVD crystal growth method
which is excellent in mass production and characteristics
uniformity. This is a high -performance, highly reliable, and
long life semiconductor laser.
• Output 30mW (CW) 40mW (pulse)
• Short astigmatic distance
• MQW * active layer
* : Multiple Quantum Well
Built-in monitor photodiode

Note1: The maximum rating means the limitation over which the laser should not be operated even instant time,
and this does not mean the guarantee of its lifetime.As for the reliability,please refer to the reliability report from Mitsubishi
Semiconductor Quality Assurance Department.
Note2: TARGET SPEC /Condition Duty less than 50%,pulse width less than 1ms
