Elliot Scientific has been appointed distributor in the UK and Ireland for Klastech's Karpushko laser technology.
Klastech's single-frequency diode-pumped solid-state lasers offer ultra-high second harmonic conversion efficiency due to double-enhanced intra-cavity frequency conversion (DENICAFC), patented by laser scientist Fedor Karpushko.
This double-enhanced laser technology also provides a locked single frequency - typically less than 1MHz line width - operation with no 'green noise', mode hops or zero fundamental wavelength glow.
DENICAFC and multi-point thermal management allows for high beam pointing stability and reduced power consumption, and is inherently much more stable over temperature gradients.
A natural by-product of double-enhanced laser technology is a coherence length in excess of 100m due to the single-frequency, single-longitudinal mode laser light, allowing Klastech to meet the requirements of a range of applications that cannot usually be met by typical diode-based lasers.
For example, biofluorescence, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, holography, interferometry, disc mastering, haematology, food sorting, spectroscopy and retinal imaging.
In addition, the laser is designed to be capable of output power modulation while still maintaining the original diode laser current.
This extends laser lifetime and secures stable operating parameters, but is only available on special request at present.
Elliot Scientific is offering a range of Klastech compact laser modules of various powers, covering the key wavelengths of 266, 488, 532 and 1064nm, and will add further modules as they are released.
