Black-LED-460

The new compact fiber-coupled high power Blue LED light source module at 460 nm is an effective replacement of lasers and lamps in many applications, such as spectroscopy and fluorometry. This new member of the modular OptiBlocks family provides up to 22 mW of CW power at fiber output. The LED driver supports external modulation, CW or chopping mode operation with preset frequency and duty cycle. The external TTL input enables synchronous operation with various fiber optic spectrometers such as Ocean Optics in strobe mode or external triggering mode.

Specifications

Peak wavelength: 460 nm Typ.
Spectrum half width: 23 nm Typ.
Power Output:
Black-LED-460 power output is limited by the reciprocal fiber characteristics. Larger core and higher NA will increase maximum power output, and vice versa.
The table below shows a few examples of the CW output power at different fibers:
 

Fiber brand	Fiber type*¹	NA	Fiber Core Diameter	Output Power Typical*²
Toray PGR-FB1000 or Mitsubishi Rayon SH4001	POF	0.5	1000 µm	22 mW
Toray PGR-FB750	POF	0.5	750 µm	13 mW
Thorlabs FT800UMT	Silica High OH	0.39	800 µm	13 mW
Thorlabs BFH48-600	Silica High OH	0.48	600 µm	10 mW
