New 638nm Red Laser Diode with the World’s Highest Output Power of 500mW by Mitsubishi Electric
Mitsubishi Electric is introducing a new red laser diode, dubbed the ML520G72. It offers the world's highest output power compared to all laser diodes in the 638nm wavelength region and so it is perfectly suited to pico projector applications or other portable display systems requiring a red light source with high brightness. The ML520G72's output power of 500mW helps with the design of high-luminous LD-based projectors and can provide a luminous flux of up to 60 lumens (lm). At the moment LED-based projectors typically offer only about 10lm.
