DEEPER penetration into biological samples, along with potential applications in nanotechnology and quantum entanglement, are promised by Chromacity’s new 520nm laser. This air-cooled ytterbium fibre-based laser combines high power with ultrashort pulse durations, it says. A frequency-doubled version of the…
MANY short wavelength imaging operations, including confocal imaging and flow cytometry, can be improved through use of a compact new high-power violet laser says Coherent. The Obis 405 LX delivers 250mW power at a wavelength of 405nm, along with direct…
THE RECORD for continuous power output from a terahertz quantum cascade laser has been almost doubled to 230 milliWatts, researchers in China have reported. Terahertz wavelengths remain a relatively low-power part of the electromagnetic spectrum, lying between infrared and microwave.…
A combination of high average power and short pulsewidth are the main features of two new ultrafast fibre lasers from Coherent. This enables high intensity focusing for applications ranging from optogenetics research to commercial applications including scribing and rapid prototyping.…
CRAIC Technologies has added further laser wavelengths to its Apollo Raman microspectrometer, with blue, green, red, and infrared now available. Used in conjunction with a light microscope, the Craic Apollo measures Raman spectra from samples or selected areas of large…
THE FIRST of their range of optically-pumped semiconductor lasers (OPSLs) to deliver single longitudinal mode (SLM) output, the two new Verdi G lasers from Coherent have a linewidth of less than 5MHz, which corresponds to a coherence length of tens…
THE WORLD’S first precision tunable blue laser operating at 461nm, the Vortex Plus Blue TLB-6802, has been launched by the New Focus division of Newport. This is the critical wavelength for the next generation of atomic clocks currently being built…
AVAILABLE in free-space or fibre-coupled configurations, the new line of Excelsior One lasers from Spectra-Physics deliver eleven different wavelengths and up to 500mW of average power. These plug-and-play lasers are intended for bioinstrumentation applications including flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and…
THE OBIS range of compact laser modules from Coherent has been extended with the addition of devices with outputs at 514nm and 552nm. Both deliver laser output power of 20mW, and says the company offer an optimum combination of beam…
SUITABLE for life science applications, the newest Genesis lasers from Coherent is aimed at instruments where space is at a premium. Measuring just 250 x 51 x 138mm, the Genesis CX 355 STM Compact is only half the size of…
