Klastech-Karpushko Laser Technologies will launch its ruby laser at the World of Photonics Exhibition in Munich this year.
The DPSS laser provides continuous wave (CW) output at the ruby wavelength, 693.4nm.
Called the Crescendo, the laser uses Klastech's approach for pumping the ruby crystal, and the same Denicaf C double-enhanced laser technology used by the other lasers in the Klastech range.
This DPSS laser offers high second-harmonic conversion efficiency, provides a ruby-based CW source, and offers the first single-frequency, ultra low noise DPSS laser in the visible red region of the electro-magnetic spectrum.
This opens up possibilities to researchers in biophysics and DNA sequencing.
The Crescendo will be available initially in 100mW and 150mW versions, with plans to increase its power output to 500mW in the near future.
As is common with all Klastech DPSS lasers, the unit produces a pitch-perfect single longitudinal frequency (<1MHz line width) with a coherence length in excess of 100m.
Optically, the laser exhibits near-perfect Gaussian beam performance, coupled with <10urad/C beam-pointing stability and noise figures down to <0.05 per cent rms.
The Denicaf C double-enhanced laser technology makes the laser capable of output power modulation, while maintaining unchanged pump laser diode current, protecting the laser life and securing stable thermal operating parameters.
