The Flex from B and W Tek is described as an all-in-one turnkey laser solution that eliminates the cables, driver boards, power supplies and laser heads that can often clutter a laboratory.
It is powered by a single AC 100-240VAC input that runs the internal low-consumption power supply supplying a regulated DC output, and has internal TE coolers to increase reliability over a 10C-35C temperature range.
The Flex is available as a diode laser or diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser.
It is available in violet, blue, green, yellow, red and near-infrared wavelengths.
It is said to maintain high optical performance over a 10C-35C temperature range, guaranteeing minimal power fluctuations and virtually eliminating high-frequency noise.
The Flex features a user-friendly graphical user interface, and single-mode fibre coupling or external laser head for easy alignment.
The compact fibre-coupled version is said to be highly versatile and comes standard with RS232 and USB 2.0 plug-and-play interfaces and B and W Tek's easy-to-use software package.
The Flex software allows the real-time monitoring of the internal laser conditions: full control over output power, control over the base plate temperature, an hour meter to monitor laser usage, and TTL triggering control setup.
