The Compass 115M-20 is designed for system builders serving markets such as bioinstrumentation, medical scanning, analytical chemistry, semiconductor inspection and metrology
Coherent has introduced a new solid-state, 532nm laser that is specifically optimised for cost-sensitive, high-volume OEM applications.
Specifically, the new Compass 115M delivers 20mW of continuous-wave output power at a price said to be significantly lower than other lasers in this class.
This 20mW laser completes the 115M Compass series and utilises the same package as the popular 5, 10 and 15mW models.
The Compass 115M-20 also delivers the same high-performance characteristics in terms of mode quality (M<1.2), stability, noise (<0.5%rms) and lifetime (>20,000 hours).
In particular, the 115M-20 offers the best price/performance ratio and lowest cost of ownership of any laser in its class.
It also includes several features that simplify integration, including conductive cooling, external control through either an analog or digital interface, and an autostart function.
