Elliot Scientific is taking advanced orders for a compact CW DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) laser that outputs in the UV at a wavelength of 266nm.
The Verve was demonstrated by Elliot Scientific at October's Photonex '09 Exhibition.
Initially available with powers of up to 100mW, the laser features a miniaturised double cavity and nitrogen-sealed UV optics.
Its continuous wave operation is suited to UV spectroscopy or for industrial applications like semiconductor inspection.
Featuring reduced power consumption and minimal heat generation, Verve requires no water cooling or nitrogen purging.
It exhibits silent running (less than 0.5 per cent rms noise), provides a diffraction-limited output beam with an M2 better than 1.05 and achieves long-term power stability of less than two per cent.
Based on the company's iMAT - impedance Matched Amplification Tuned - laser technology, Verve produces an inherently Pitch Perfect single-frequency performance with a line width of less than 1MHz.
Elliot Scientific is taking advance orders for 25, 50 and 100mW versions, while Klastech is planning to release higher powers in 2010.
Elliot Scientific also offers compact laser modules of various powers covering the key single wavelengths of 488, 532, 694.3 and 1064nm, and will add new ones as they are released.
