Turn-Key 458nm Single Mode Laser System for Scientific R&D Applications, User Adjustable Output Power up to 365mW

Product Overview:

458nm, 365mW Blue Laser Source System Overview

This is a complete plug-and-play laser sources utilizing Coherent's laser diode technology to deliver industry-leading laser reliability and performance. The blue 458nm free-space laser source is available in two models: 75mW output power, and 365mW output power.

Coherent's OBIS Series laser source systems span the spectrum from 375nm (Ultraviolet) to 980nm (near-Infrared), and are perfect for flow cytometry and fluorescence spectroscopy applications.

These lasers deliver high quality optical power with low noise, high beam quality. The complete plug-and-play system is easily configured, and users are able to rapidly integrate the laser into any application. The resulting reduced set-up time means the system is operating quickly, and with an overall low cost. The highly-functional OBIS LS/LX Systems are ideal for scientific, laboratory, OEM system, and spectroscopic applications.

Complete Turn-Key Blue Laser Source System

The complete OBIS system package includes: the laser head and power supply, remote controller, and the interconnect cables. The included accessory includes mounting brackets and a selection of other useful parts. The laser system is operated remotely via USB or RS232, and the PC control software is included.

The laser system includes features to ensure a long operating lifetime, and to help protect the laser operator. The key switch prevents unauthorized use, and the external interlock allows a remote safety switch to be wired. Accommodation is provided for driving a cooling fan, and for temperature stabilization the OBIS laser head can be mounted to the OBIS fan-heatsink.

Operating Flexibility with Multiple Modulation Modes

The OBIS laser system can be operated in CW mode, or modulated in multiple modes: analog signals, digital signals, and combined analog/digital signals. The laser can be modulated to full-off output, ensuring no photons are emitted. LS modules can be modulated to full-off output using the digital modulation mode. The LX modules can be modulated to full-off using the analog modulation mode with a Blanking Enabled feature.

Laser System Options and Availability

The turn-key OBIS laser sources are available in a wide range of wavelengths and output powers, either fiber-coupled or with a free-space output, and multiple sources can be simultaneously operated from a single computer. When application requirements change, laser heads of different wavelengths are effortlessly interchanged on the bench.

A number of bandpass filters are available for the free-space laser heads, and are useful in applications that benefit from reduced noise at longer wavelengths. Filters are available at 445nm, 473nm, 488nm, 633nm, and 640nm, and attach directly to the front of the laser head.

A number of accessories are available for multi-laser applications: two controller models for OEM and benchtop applications that can control up to six lasers, a machined heatsink with attached cooling fan, and an integrated mounting and control system that incorporates independent laser controllers, modulation inputs, and thermal management for up to five OBIS laser heads, either free-space or fiber-coupled.
