The new low-power, CW Compass 115M-15 green laser from Coherent is designed for price sensitive, high performance OEM applications
The CW Compass 115M-15 is of the newest addition to the company's Compass 115M diode-pumped, solid-state laser series, which offers output powers of 5, 10 or 15mW at 532nm, and provides excellent beam characteristics in terms of mode quality (M2 is less than 1.2), power stability and noise ( less than 0.5 percent rms).
The Compass lasers also offer long lifetime (more than 20,000 hrs) and high unit to unit consistency, making them an ideal choice for demanding applications in bioinstrumentation - including flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, genetic screening, drug discovery and biohazard detection - as well as in graphic arts, inspection and metrology.
The compact Compass 115M lasers have been specifically designed for easy integration by OEMs.
The laser devices have also been designed to be price sensitive yet offer high performance capabilities.
The new range of laser systems operate from a 5V power source, feature conductive cooling, and they can be controlled and monitored through either an analogue or digital interface.
An Autostart function allows direct system start and operation without any user-supplied control signals.
The new Compass 115M lasers also feature an opto-mechanical design that is optimised for high volume, low cost production.
