Designed for applications demanding consistency and repeatability such as biomedical instrumentation, spectroscopy, microscopy and genomics
Photonic Products announces the introduction of its thermo-electrically cooled (Tec), blue/violet laser diode modules which offer exceptional wavelength and power stability, (better than 1%), greatly increased pointing accuracy and significantly extended laser diode lifetime.
The Tec laser diode modules produce elliptical output beams and output powers of 1.5mW in the 375nm ultra-violet, 4mW and 25mW in the 405nm violet and 4mW in the 440nm blue wavelength bands.
Designed for applications demanding consistency and repeatability such as industrial inspection, high-resolution printing, reprographics, biomedical instrumentation, spectroscopy, microscopy and genomics, the Tec modules are compact, versatile and highly cost effective.
The Tec laser diode modules incorporate microprocessor based temperature control electronics, thermo electric cooler, heatsink and fan that enable the laser diode temperature to be controlled to a set point temperature between +15C to +25C, (user adjustable), and with a stability of +/-0.05C.
This accurate temperature control, together with user adjustment of the laser diode drive current enables the laser to be tuned to a region where mode hopping and RMS noise are significantly reduced or eliminated.
Accurate temperature control also produces excellent wavelength/power stability and cooling the laser diode to the factory set +20C significantly increases laser diode lifetime.
All UV, violet and blue Tec laser diode modules in the range offer low and high temperature automatic shut-off protection, analogue and digital modulation capability and safety interlock, as standard.
