Feb 20, 2004 CleanBeamâ„¢ 56 ICS-Series Red and NIR Laser Systems output 635, 640, 660, 785, or 830 nm with power ranging from 7–40 mW, wavelength dependent. Output can be modulated at rates up to 5 MHz, standard or 350 MHz, optional. Spatially filtered output beam is round with M² factor of less than 1.2. Laser temperature is controlled by thermoelectric cooler that stabilizes output power. Fully self-contained systems are CE and CDRH certified and require only 5 Vdc to operate.

Violet Diode Lasers offer elliptical and circular beams.

May 20, 2002 AlignMeter® simultaneously measures laser beam position and angular displacement for beams up to 8 mm in diameter. Absolute angle and position can be measured with accuracies of 1 mrad and 1 micrometer, respectively, without having to know distance of source from sensor. Results are updated at 10 Hz. It also measures absolute output power from 10 microWatts to 10 mW at wavelengths from 350 nm to 1.06 micrometers. Card-based system requires host PC.

Telecentric Gauging Lenses fit machine vision applications.

Melles Griot    Irvine, CA 92606
Jan 17, 2002 Invarigon-Râ„¢ family of telecentric gauging and metrology imaging lenses allow precise gauging of 3D objects. Telecentric lens views or displays entire object from same perspective angle, preventing 3D features from exhibiting perspective distortion and image position errors. Objects inside deep holes are visible (undistorted) throughout field. Applications include inspecting objects or scenes where image size and shape accuracy is crucial.

Blue Laser has power control option.

Dec 17, 2001 APC automatic power control lets company’s diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser systems be switched between ACC(automatic current control) and APC via RS232. In APC mode, system will maintain precise level of output over long periods of time. This is suitable for measurement and scanning applications where long-term stability and repeatability is critical. It also increases system life by optimizing laser current for specific output power.

UV Optics and Coatings are for use in 120 to 370 Nm range.

Melles Griot    Irvine, CA 92606
Dec 17, 2001 Lenses, mirrors, prisms and beam splitters are made from UV-grade synthetic fused silica with ultrafine laser polish and 10-5 scratch dig specification. Thin-film optical coating is designed for performance in ultraviolet at 193 Nm, 248 Nm or 355 Nm. Applications include materials processing such as production of integrated circuits; hole drilling, microstructuring and marking; surface treatment and annealing; and fiber Bragg grating writing.

Profiler utilizes Windows-based operating software.

Dec 17, 2001 WinCamD 3-dimensional beam intensity profiler features 4.65 µm square pixel size and 14-bit analog-to-digital converter that gives it greater than 16,000 levels of intensity resolution. WinCamD includes pass/fail settings for beam width, relative power, Gaussian and top hat fit, and data logging. It can be used for pulsed (as low as 1 Hz) or continuous-wave beams. Use of variable electronic shutter provides dynamic range of 60,000:1.

Workstations are for vibration-sensitive applications.

Melles Griot    Irvine, CA 92606
Dec 17, 2001 ScienceDesk workstations integrate optical breadboards, vibration isolators, and modular accessories to provide active or passive vibration isolation, load capacities to 900 lb, work-surface sizes from 2.5 x 2.5 ft to 3 x 4 ft, and electrostatic discharge protection. Accessories include overhead shelves, wrist rests and keyboard holders. Frames are constructed with aluminum extrusions and include height-adjustable feet and heavy-duty locking casters.

Alignment Stages position fibers/components to within 10 nm.

Melles Griot    Irvine, CA 92606
Dec 11, 2001 Pneumatic linear translation stages for fiber-alignment applications provide 2 µm repeatable movement of loads up to 50 kg. Designed specifically for process-automation applications, stages are suited for load/unload positioning and for positioning accessories like adhesive dispensing and curing equipment. Adjustable end stops and pneumatic stages can move equipment up to 75 mm. Cross-roller bearings provide speeds up to 100 mm/second.
