Compact Green Lasers Provide Alternative to Legacy Ion Technology

Compact Green Lasers Provide Alternative to Legacy Ion TechnologyCoherent's Sapphire family of compact CW visible lasers now includes the first 514-nm (green) offering based on proprietary OPSL technology. With a choice of four output powers ranging from 20 to 100 mW, the cost-effective Sapphire 514-LP lasers provide a compact (125 x 70 x 34 mm) all-solid state alternative to legacy ion technology at this green wavelength. All models deliver a diffraction-limited TEM00 (M²<1.1) output beam, low amplitude noise (< 0.25% rms), and superior pointing stability (<30 µrad for ±3 C).

For applications currently using ion lasers, the small footprint and high electrical efficiency of the new lasers facilitate and simplify integration into OEM instrumentation with their reduced physical, electrical and thermal demands. They offer a total power budget of <60 W.

For applications already using Sapphire LP lasers at other visible wavelengths, adding the 514-nm excitation capability is simple because these lasers provide identical form, fit, and function, including the same interface (analog, RS-232, USB). Applications include flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, DNA sequencing, high-throughput drug discovery, and diagnostic imaging.

Striving Toward Secondary Goals
Late last month, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stunned most everyone when he declared his promise that "by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon." While I don’t fault Gingrich for dreaming and trying to set high standards and goals, I can’t help but think of the enormous amount of known and unknown variables that significantly deter this accomplishment...continue
