Elliot Scientific is to distribute IPG Photonics' low-power fibre lasers - including low, up to 20W, power continuous wave (PCW) and single-frequency diode-pumped versions - in the UK and Ireland.
The company is offering three series of rare earth doped fibre lasers that are said to be more efficient, more cost effective and a suitable replacement for lamp or diode-pumped crystal lasers.
Ytterbium doped fibre lasers feature light output ranges from 1,062-1,075nm and provide a compact and mobile light source for scientific and medical applications, including optical tweezing.
These lasers are available as continuous wave, randomly or linearly polarised models with a standard sub-nm and single frequency, less than 50kHz, linewidths.
Erbium fibre-doped lasers operate between 1,535 and 1,600nm, including the telecommunications C and L wavebands.
These single-frequency lasers are suitable for interferometry, coherent beam combining, free-space communication and sensing applications due to their less than 50kHz linewidth.
Linear and randomly polarised options with a standard sub-nm linewidth are also available.
Thulium doped fibre lasers have an output wavelength within 1,800 to 2,050nm.
These standard linewidth lasers are suitable for the laboratory, medical and industrial communities that require a wavelength-selectable diffraction limited beam, turnkey maintenance-free operation, single-mode fibre delivery, compact size and air-cooled modular simplicity.
