Excelsior-473 and Excelsior-532 are said to be excellent choices for many cutting edge applications including flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, analytical chemistry, and confocal microscopy
Spectra-Physics has announced the Excelsior-473 and Excelsior-532 DPSS lasers for the research community.
These new scientific versions of the Excelsior family are CDRH compliant and feature a key switch and safety interlock.
They are operated by a stand-alone power supply that accepts input voltages ranging from 110 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz.
"We have enjoyed tremendous success with the OEM versions of our Excelsior product line, and we are excited to offer these low-cost, high performance lasers to our scientific research customers," said Jurgen Niederhofer, product manager for Spectra-Physics.
"Our Excelsior-473 and Excelsior-532 are excellent choices for many cutting edge applications including flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, analytical chemistry, confocal microscopy, and many more".
Spectra-Physics says its innovative Excelsior lasers are a low-cost alternative to power-hungry argon ion lasers and many DPSS lasers.
These low power continuous wave (CW) solid-state lasers at 473 or 532nm are excellent tools for a variety of research applications because they provide superior optical beam quality, exceptionally low optical noise, and high reliability.
Offering the smallest footprint in their class, the Excelsior lasers are stand-alone devices that are easy-to-use and operate.
An integrated active light loop guarantees that every Excelsior laser delivers outstanding output power stability over a wide temperature range.
Spectra-Physics's patented intra-cavity doubling technique generates visible light with high conversion efficiency, which results in lower overall power consumption.
The Excelsior-532 line offers a variety of multi-longitudinal mode and single-frequency versions with power levels ranging from 20 to 150mW.
The standard Excelsior-473 laser is offered with 10mW of output power.
Spectra-Physics provides a universal base plate that enables customers to mount the laser onto both 'English' (Imperial) and metric optical tables.
Every Excelsior laser is backed by an 18-month, unlimited hour warranty.
