Klastech-Karpushko Laser Technologies has launched its smallest DPSS laser, the 532nm Scherzo LP.
The DPSS laser provides continuous wave (CW) output at 532nm in a miniaturised package.
Powered by the company's next-generation technology, the laser is aimed at the low-power 532nm market.
At these power levels the Klastech platform is said to improve 2nd harmonic conversion efficiency compared to existing DPSS architectures.
This results in lower power consumption and the ability to utilise ever smaller pump diodes in a simplified optical train.
In common with all other Klastech DPSS lasers, the Scherzo LP exhibits silent running (less than 0.3 per cent rms noise), provides diffraction limited output beams with M2 better than 1.05, achieves long-term power stability of less than two per cent and thanks to the multi-point thermal management, has a beam pointing stability of less than 10urad/C.
Inherently producing pitch perfect single frequency performance with a line width less than 1MHz, the laser can be utilised in most areas, from bio-photonics where SLM performance may not be required, right through to high-end metrology and spectroscopy applications.
The laser is available in powers from 10-50mW.
Higher powers are available from its larger stable mate, the Scherzo.
The laser will be shown at the 49th Annual Meeting of Cell Biology in San Diego in December.
