Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the JDS UNIPHASE 2214-30SLQTA. Always verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution:
- JDS UNIPHASE 2214-30MLQTA — Multi-line variant; same platform, broader spectral output
- JDS UNIPHASE 2218-30SLQTA — Higher-power variant in the same 2200 series
- Coherent Innova 70C Series — Alternative brand, similar power class, different power supply interface
- Melles Griot 543-AP-A01 — Compact argon alternative for lower-power applications
- Spectra-Physics 163C-A03 — Legacy equivalent, requires adapter for power supply compatibility
Note: Cross-brand replacements may require power supply, mounting, or beam alignment adjustments. Contact Konmask for pre-sales compatibility verification.
Why Choose the Original Model

- Long tube life: JDSU 2214 series is rated for extended operational hours under proper conditions
- Drop-in compatibility: Direct replacement for existing 2200-series installations without system redesign
- Traceable quality: OEM-sourced units with original documentation available through Konmask
- Reduced integration risk: Eliminates beam alignment and power supply re-calibration costs associated with cross-brand substitution
Typical Applications
- Flow cytometry and cell sorting (488 nm / 514 nm excitation)
- Holographic recording and interferometry
- Raman spectroscopy (514 nm excitation line)
- Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV)
- Semiconductor wafer inspection and photolithography
- Fluorescence microscopy
- Optical trapping and particle manipulation
System Compatibility
- Power Supply: JDSU 2200-series laser power supply (e.g., 2200-15SL, 2200-30SL)
- Mounting: Standard 2200-series kinematic mount; compatible with most OEM instrument frames
- Beam Path: Collimated output; compatible with standard 1-inch optic mounts and fiber coupling adapters
- Control Interface: Analog current control via matched power supply; optional RS-232 with compatible PSU
- Operating Environment: Indoor, temperature-controlled lab environment; 15–35°C ambient
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the 2214-30SLQTA is the right choice for your application:
- Required wavelength: If your application demands a clean 514.5 nm line (e.g., Raman, flow cytometry), the single-line model is preferred over multi-line variants
- Power requirement: 30 mW is suitable for most analytical and research applications; upgrade to 2218 series for >50 mW needs
- Existing infrastructure: If you already operate a JDSU 2200-series power supply, the 2214-30SLQTA is a direct drop-in — no additional investment required
- Budget vs. OEM: Refurbished OEM units from Konmask offer significant cost savings vs. new, with tested performance guarantees
- Replacement urgency: Konmask maintains stock of tested units for rapid dispatch; contact us for lead time confirmation

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use the 2214-30MLQTA as a direct replacement for the 2214-30SLQTA?
A: Mechanically and electrically yes, but the multi-line variant will output multiple wavelengths simultaneously. If your application requires a single 514 nm line, the SLQTA is required.
Q: Is the 2214-30SLQTA compatible with third-party power supplies?
A: It is designed for JDSU 2200-series PSUs. Third-party supplies may work but require careful current/voltage matching. Konmask can advise on compatibility.
Q: What is the typical service life of this laser head?
A: Under normal operating conditions, argon-ion tubes in this class typically deliver 5,000–10,000+ hours. Actual life depends on duty cycle and operating current.
Q: Do you offer warranty on refurbished units?
A: Yes. Konmask provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested refurbished units. Terms available on request.
Q: Can Konmask source specific variants or accessories (e.g., etalon, power supply)?
A: Yes. Contact us with your full BOM and we will provide availability and pricing for complete system components.
