Coherent has brought out two Genesis CW green (532nm) lasers that offer a combination of low noise (<0.1 per cent RMS) and excellent mode quality (M <1.1).
The Genesis 532-1000 S lasers produce more than 1W of output power, while the Genesis 532-500 S lasers deliver more than 0.5W.
Both lasers are air-cooled, can be directly modulated and are available in OEM packaging.
These lasers are based on the company's optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) technology, which combines high reliability with the most compact packaging of any visible laser platform, and is scalable in wavelength and output power.
Primary applications for Genesis lasers are in fluorescence-based bioinstrumentation markets.
These applications include OEM and end-user instruments in high-throughput DNA sequencing in the fields of genomics and proteogenomics, as well as high-throughput flow cytometry.
Other OEM applications encompass particle visualisation and diverse inspection tasks.
