Press Release Summary:
Self-contained 56 ICS Series Red and NIR CleanBeam(TM) delivers round, spatially filtered beam with M² factor of less than 1.2. Product offers output at 635, 640, 660, or 785 nm; output power from 7-35 mW (wavelength dependent); and modulation capability up to 350 MHz. Laser temperature is controlled by thermoelectric cooler, which stabilizes output power and minimizes wavelength drift. Uses include laser-induced fluorescence metrology applications.
Original Press Release:
New 56 ICS Series Red and NIR CleanBeam(TM) Diode-Laser Systems
Longmont, CO - Melles Griot introduces the new 56 ICS CleanBeam(TM) series of compact, diode-laser systems with output at 635, 640, 660, or 785 nm, and the superb beam quality previously available only from a gas laser. Systems are available with output power ranging from 7 to 35 mW (wavelength dependent) and modulation capability as high as 350 MHz. These laser systems are ideal for use in laser-induced fluorescence metrology applications, as well as in other applications where compact size, low noise, constant power, excellent beam quality, and long life are required.
CleanBeam laser systems provide unsurpassed optical performance by delivering a round, spatially filtered beam with an M² factor <1.2.
The laser temperature is controlled by a thermoelectric cooler, which stabilizes output power, minimizes wavelength drift, and increases overall operating life. Each system undergoes extensive thermal testing to insure optical and power stability over the full operating temperature range.
56 ICS-series systems are CE and CDRH certified, fully self-contained, and require only 5 Vdc to operate. Individual units are fully characterized and are supplied with supporting test data to verify actual performance. Standard systems can be modulated to 5 MHz; modulation capability of 350 MHz is an available option.
Melles Griot manufactures diode-laser systems, in a variety of configurations, with output ranging from 405 to 1550 nm, as well as an extensive line of gas and DPSS laser products with output wavelengths ranging from 325 to 1523 nm and output powers as high as 3 W. Customized systems are also available.
Melles Griot is a leading global supplier of photonics products including optical components and systems, lasers, motion-control systems, laser measurement instrumentation, opto-mechanical hardware, and vibration isolated optical tables and workstations. The company has manufacturing and distribution activities in 41 countries serving industries as diverse as semiconductor, biomedical, metrology, and telecommunications. Melles Griot is a Barloworld Scientific company.
