Red Diode Laser
Product Code : SCL-OS-12863
The Red Diode Laser by Educational Instrument provides a narrow red laser beam for demonstrating the behaviour of light in practical physics experiments. It helps teachers show straight-line propagation, beam deviation, mirror reflection, lens refraction, and diffraction patterns with clearer visual reference than ordinary broad light sources.
This product is listed under the Educational Instrument lasers range as Red Diode Laser with Power Supply, product code EL-L-10497. It can be used with suitable optics accessories such as Laser Ray Optics Kit, Geometrical Optics Kit with Laser Ray Box, Lens Holder, and Filter Holder.
Key Features
Red Diode Laser for classroom optics, ray tracing, and laser demonstration experiments.
Supplied with power supply for controlled educational laboratory use.
Useful for reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and beam alignment studies.
Suitable for school physics labs, college laboratories, STEM classrooms, and training institutes.
Works with compatible optical benches, screens, gratings, mirrors, lenses, and prisms.
Supports hands-on observation of real laser paths and theoretical ray diagrams.
Laser wavelength, output power, and laser class should be confirmed before purchase.

How to Use the Red Diode Laser
Place the Red Diode Laser on a stable laboratory table or compatible optical mount.
Connect the supplied power supply according to the recommended rating.
Position the mirror, lens, prism, grating, optical block, or screen in the laser path.
Switch on the laser only under teacher or laboratory supervisor guidance.
Adjust the laser carefully until the beam is aligned with the optical component.
Observe and record the reflected, refracted, transmitted, diffracted, or interference pattern.
Switch off the laser after the experiment and disconnect the power supply if required.
Safety note: Never look directly into the laser beam. Do not point the beam at eyes, faces, reflective jewellery, polished metal, or uncontrolled reflective surfaces.
Care & Maintenance
Keep the laser aperture clean and free from dust.
Store the laser and power supply in a dry, protected cabinet.
Do not use damaged leads, loose connectors, or an unsuitable power adapter.
Handle the laser body carefully to maintain beam alignment.
