Santa Clara, Calif. – The new CUBE 445 from Coherent, Inc. is a compact, conduc-tion-cooled laser that delivers 40 mW of power at 445 nm. Thanks to its all-semicon-ductor technology, the CUBE 445 delivers higher reliability, lower noise and longer life-time than HeCd gas lasers, which were for-merly the only choice at this wavelength. The CUBE 445 also offers superior beam characteristics compared to HeCd lasers, with an M2 of typically less than 1.2, a beam divergence of 0.6 mrad, a pointing stability of under 6 µrad/°C, and a typical RMS noise level of 0.05% (20 Hz to 100 MHz). Plus, the laser head measures only 100 x 40 x 40 mm (3.9 x 1.6 x 1.6 in.), and dissipates typically 3W of heat.

New CUBE Laser Offers 40 mW at 445 nmApplications for the CUBE 445 laser include biomedicine, microelectronics, and engi-neering prototyping. Specific examples of these applications include semiconductor inspection, flow cytometry, confocal micros-copy and stereolithography.

LASER COMPONENTS also produces high power pulsed laser diodes at 850 nm in Canada for applications such as range find-ing, speed measurement, laser radar, safety scanners, laser light curtains, or for use in testing and measurement systems.These laser diodes are highly reliable and are characterized by excellent beam properties and temperature stability. With an efficiency of 0.8 W/A the stacks reach a peak power of 100 W at a pulse length of 150 ns. The 850 nm PLDs are delivered in a TO 18, 5.6 mm, 9 mm, or 8-32 coax housing or as a chip on a ceramic submount.The 850 series complements the 905 series and 1550 series, both very successful and

The HighFinesse/Angstrom WS7-IR-II expands the product range of HighFinesse from 192 - 1120 nm into the infrared region up to 2250 nm. This Wavelength Meter is the only device worldwide measuring cw- and pulsed laser up to the wavelength of 2250 nm – with a relative accuracy of 10-7. This corresponds to an absolute accuracy of approx. 50 MHz or 0.1 pm at 1064 nm.Like every HighFinesse Wavelength Meter, the WS7-IR-II is based on a Fizeau-interfer-ometer. The main benefit of that type of interferometer is that there are no moving mechanics or optics inside. This ensures not only the high accuracy and a measurement speed up to 500 Hz but also a high reliabil-

AMS Technologies: QPC’s new 808 nm lasers Martinsried, Germany, AMS Technol-

ogies is pleased to announce the release of a new line of 808 nm high spectral brightness semiconductor lasers from Quintessence Photonics Corporation (QPC).The lasers utilise QPC’s proprietary internal grating technology, which can dramatically reduce the cooling costs and enhance laser system performance. This can be achieved by decreasing the laser system’s sensitivity to temperature and the amount of heat de-posited in the system. The 1 Watt 100 micron single emitter C-mounted products feature the world’s first internal grating at 808 nm. It helps to de-crease the spectral width of the device while increasing the centre wavelength stability

HiTek Power has introduced the HiGen 2000 series of 2 kW X-RAY generator power supplies. The new units produce the tightly-controlled power needed to drive and con-trol X-RAY tubes, and incorporate high levels of remote control and monitoring to meet the needs of modern X-ray systems and to protect ever-more-expensive tubes.The HiGen 2000 supplies have been de-signed for use as component power supplies in industrial and analytical X-RAY systems and low-energy industrial radiography ap-plications. They offer output voltages of up to 60 or 90 kV coupled with high stability and low ripple. The units’ IGBT converter de-sign makes them very robust. Filament current and voltage are sensed at the output terminals of the high-voltage

X-ray generator power supplies with advanced controlconnector. This allows the filament current limit to be set very close to the maximum op-erating current of the tube, as current sens-ing is far more accurate than the traditional primary side sensing. This affords better pro-tection of the X-RAY tube’s filament but per-mits maximum use of its capabilities.The supplies use microcontrollers to provide a versatile sub-system. Non-volatile memory

Since its founding in 1993, ARGES In-dustrieplanung und Lasertechnik GmbH has developed into a leading global player in the fields of beam deflection systems and con-trol systems for OEM laser equipment.ARGES is now introducing a new, highly inte-grated controller for laser machinery, which controls beam deflection systems and lasers in real - time, and integrates the complete external periphery, from position encoders up to power meters. The programming of various partial systems on one instance offers the advantage that the temporal sequence of the positioning- and switching processes is ensured, without requiring any additional synchronization efforts. The user can simply integrate the system into existing system concepts by means of stan-dardized interfaces, such as RS232, RS485, Ethernet, USB and CAN bus. A special ad-vantage is the realization of the central con-troller core on an embedded Linux platform. The controller is respectively available with different functional performance ranges in housings with 1 to 3 height units, optionally for 19 “ rack mount, or for desktop. With additional displays and control ele-ments, the devices can also be used as stand-

The new, very compact 1064 nm pas-sively q-switched laser is based on the IMPEX HighTech GmbH microchip technology. One main advantage of this technology is the monolithic construction of the cavity, which means that the laser crystal and ab-sorber is one single unit which is correctly coated on both end faces. This reduces insta-bility effects which might come from air gaps inside the cavity or movements of single parts of a conventional laser cavity.The so called “1064-Q TO3” laser is inte-grated into a standard electronics size hous-ing of shape TO3, just the top cylinder tube is extended to fit the laser crystal size. The laser emits 2 ns pulses with a pulse energy of >5 µJ at a repetition rate of 10 kHz. Of course the repetition rate can be adjusted down to single shot by using the pump diode as gain switching element.The laser is currently under test for space ap-plication and is already in use in a 3D laser scanner to measure accurately 3D geometri-cal data. Another application for this laser is pumping photonic fibers in order to gener-ate a super continuum laser.

Up to recent years modelocked ps- and fs-lasers were only used in experimental setups in laboratories worldwide. Due to their specific properties these lasers find more and more commercial applications in industry and medicine. It is very important to put attention on appropriate eyeprotec-tion.LASERVISON is the first manufacturer of safety spectacles worldwide to demonstrate that its eyewear meets the mode-locked specification of European laser eyewear standard EN 207. The EN 207 is splitted into four protection categories: D for continuous wave lasers; I for pulsed lasers (100 ns to 0.1 s pulse duration); R for Q-switched lasers (1 to 100 ns) and M for mode-locked lasers (less than 1 ns).In a broad range of research projects with modelocked lasers also the behaviour of dif-ferent laser protection materials has been evaluated.

With the ZPS-1000 VDS Vosskühler ex-tend their program by a very fast 2/3D Line Profile Sensor, running according to the tri-angulation principle.At a resolution of 500 pixels/line the sensor supplies 1000 height profiles/sec. The res-olution can be adjusted from 256 to 1024 pixels/line. The achievable measuring accu-racy is approx. +/- 0.2 % of the measuring range.The complete determination and calibra-tion of the data takes place within the sen-sor, making it especially simple to integrate

The new Lm cameras by Lumenera measure a mere 44 × 44 × 56 mm. A single USB 2.0 connection provides for data trans-fer, camera control, and power supply. The Lm camera line is ideal for industrial and sci-entific users seeking CCD-level image quality despite the most demanding space con-straints.The Lm line currently includes three models with adjustable 8-bit or 12-bit conversion. Lm165 and Lm135, the two 1.4 megapixel cameras, differ mainly in terms of sensitivity. Lm075 transmits image data in VGA quality via the USB port. Binning and the program-mable restriction to certain regions of inter-est enable users to flexibly increase the frame rate. All three models feature three bi-direc-tional I/O ports that can be attached and remote-controlled using peripheral equip-ment.A comprehensive SDK is available for appli-cation developers. Drivers are DirectShow- and DirectX-compatible and can be easily

Thorlabs new Dual Channel Optical Power Meter is an economic benchtop de-vice that exceeds the functionality of con-ventional power meters. The two channels allow ratio or differential measurements for direct comparison of the optical power of 2 beams. This unit is compatible with all Thor-labs photodiode and thermopile power me-ter sensors. Furthermore, any conventional anode or cathode grounded photodiode (max. 10mA output) can be connected, which enables the use of more specialized detectors for specific power measurements, i.e. for mid IR wavelengths. An additional BNC output is offered which is gain and function programmable. It provides an ana-log voltage proportional to the output of one of the channels or their difference or ra-tio. The measurement resolution is 16bit for all power ranges. The PM300 Series is con-trolled locally via the front panel, or remotely via USB2.0. The sensors connect via two Sub-D connectors on the rear panel, which also provides two analog high bandwidth outputs to allow monitoring of each chan-nel, plus the programmable analog output.

The photodiodes connect via two BNC in-puts on the front panel which feature switch-able bandwidth and programmable bias voltage.

Laser Optics for femtosecond lasers

A bandwidth-limited pulse has a spec-tral width given by the Fourier transform of its time-domain profile. Consequently, a 10-fs FWHM Gaussian pulse centred at 800 nm has a bandwidth of 94 nm (1466 cm-1). When a short pulse travels through a disper-sive medium, the component frequencies are separated in time. Firstly, the centre of the pulse is delayed with respect to a pulse travelling in air. This is usually called the group delay, which is not a broadening ef-fect. Secondly, normally-dispersive media like glass impose a positive frequency sweep or “chirp” on the pulse meaning that the blue components are delayed with respect to the red.Consequently, if optics is used for very short pulses, especially for femtosecond pulses, the optics has to be chosen very carefully. Sill Optics designed some beam achromatic expanders and f-theta objectives taken these issues into account in order to minimize the chirp on the pulse.
