Yellow and Blue Solid-State Lasers with Fiber Beam Delivery
June 2007
Carlsbad, California –Melles Griot, a global supplier of photonics components and subsystems, announces two new families of fiber delivered, solid-state lasers to facilitate system assembly and provide more system architecture options — the 85 BCF series operating at 488 nm (blue) and the 85 YCF series operating at 561 nm (yellow).These solid-state systems come complete with an integrated single-mode fiber delivery (standard or polarization maintaining) terminated by either an FC/APC connector or a flange-mounted collimator. The fiber mounting mechanism is both shock resistant and thermally robust, ensuring excellent pointing and power stability through temperature cycling from 10°C to 40°C. The superb beam output is both circular and nonastigmatic; consequently, these systems are excellent alternatives to gas lasers, particularly for imaging and cell sorting applications where beam waist location and repeatable energy profiles are paramount.
This new laser format gives the OEM the flexibility to design more compact systems and provides more freedom of choice of system architecture. Fiber delivery, with connector or flange termination gives, the OEM the ability to mount to a bulkhead connector and allow the balance of the optical train to be aligned and registered to a known, predesignated point. When the system needs service, the laser source can be replaced without having to realign the whole optical train — a significant opportunity for service time and cost reduction.
Both laser systems come with a turnkey power supply and RS-232 interface. OEM controller boards and custom optical delivery are available.
Melles Griot is a leading global supplier of photonics products including optical components and systems, lasers, motioncontrol systems, laser measurement instrumentation, opto-mechanical hardware, and vibration-isolated optical tables and workstations.
