The Laser Quantum axiom 660 laser has a new architecture that delivers high CW power whilst incorporating all of the active optics within the laser lead. The axiom lends itself to easy integration into equipment due to its ultra-compact power supply unit, without the complexities associated with fibre delivery.

The axiom 660 is ideally suited to a range of applications including Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV), Raman imaging, and a wide range of fluorescence imaging techniques. The high-power enables a brighter image in PIV and imaging of Raman emission over a larger area. With its high power, excellent beam characteristics and size, the axiom 660 addresses several fluorescent dyes including Atto 647N and Atto 655 for fluorescence imaging and super resolution microscopy.

The Laser Quantum ventus family of CW lasers is designed to exceed the demands of the scientific customer where flexibility, reliability and beam quality are critical. Each laser is highly compact, and can be operated via the control unit, simple software, Labview or with the Laser Quantum RemoteApp software that allows operation across the internet, and even connection for optimisation procedures.

With MTTF figures in the hundreds of thousand hours, each laser is rigorously tested for impact resistance via a drop test, temperature and power cycling to ensure that every delivery works first time and exhibits long trouble free lifetimes.

With a wavelength range covering 473 nm to 1064 nm and powers from 50 mW to 1.5 W, all within the same housing, the ventus family is ideal for research applications in biomedical imaging, microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, DNA sequencing, optogenetics and anywhere a high specification, reliable laser is needed.

The Laser Quantum  torus family offers a range of single longitudinal mode lasers with bandwidths below 1MHz. These are ideal for applications such as high resolution Raman spectroscopy, holography and interferometry that benefit from the long coherence length.

Unique in the marketplace, the torus family all benefit from TruLoQ™ active mode locking technology. This advanced internal software maintains the performance of the output beam, ensure a stable frequency output across long measurements and wide temperature fluctuations. Tests have shown wavelength shifts of less than ±2pm over a 20°C shift in temperature and 0.3pm at constant temperature over a 30-minute test period. This technology eliminates mode drift and hop and creates a narrow line width laser with no sidebands.

This makes the torus family ideal for such applications as holography, interferometry, Brillouin scattering and any others where measurement time is over extended periods.
