Passive feedback diode laser gives narrow linewidth, high stability, and high beam quality without the size and bulky power supply and cooling fans associated with gas lasers
Lambda Photometrics announces the launch of Torsana's Starbright 488 laser.
Based on Torsana's passive feedback laser system, the 980nm diode emits a near-diffraction limited output which is then frequency doubled to give 488nm.
Perfect for any number of applications that traditionally use argon ion lasers, the Starbright 488 is a superb replacement giving narrow linewidth, high stability, and high beam quality without the size and bulky power supply and cooling fans associated with gas laser technology.
The compact dimensions of the laser head and controller will save space in any system and the low power consumption of the laser provides even greater flexibility. Currently the Starbright 488 provides 10mW@488nm, with a linewidth of <0.1nm and M2 of ~1.4.
