Point Source will be showing the brand new iFlex-Mustang for the first time in Europe at Photonics Europe, in Strasbourg, France 3-7 April 2008
Point Source is pleased to announce the launch of a new solid-state laser unit.
The iFlex-Mustang is a fibre-coupled solid-state laser with on-board modulation, which allows designers to quickly build small and even more reliable instruments and experiments.
Using single-mode and polarisation preserving fiber, the iFlex-Mustang delivers 25mW of power with a polarisation extinction ratio of greater than 100:1.
With an operating wavelength of 488 or 561nm and output power (from the fibre) of 25mW, the Mustang is said to be ideal for use in biomedical instrumentation including confocal microscopes, flow cytometers and DNA sequencers and is also suitable for demanding specialised semi-conductor metrology.
The unit's power can be modulated at up to 2MHz with a rise and fall time of 150ns and 30dB dynamic range.
It is stable to better than 2% over four hours and has noise of less than 0.3% over the frequency range 20Hz to 2MHz.
The flexible design includes a detachable fiber, making installation and field servicing simple.
David Pointer, managing director of Point Source, said: "The Mustang product has been developed as a direct result of customer feedback.
"It is a flexible solution for customers who want an off-the-shelf solid -state laser solution for their instruments and experiments".
