C-995 Phase-Locked Loop Optical Chopper

The C-995 Phase-Locked Loop Optical Chopper provides crystal controlled chopping rates of 4 Hz to 5 KHz using only one blade. The use of Direct Digital Synthesis permits the rate to be set to a precision of .001 Hz and provides quarts crystal stability. Frequency settings may be made via front panel controls, its bi-directional Rs-232 port or it may be phase-locked to a user supplied external clock. Both enclosed and open style chopper heads are available.

NEW Verdi G-Series

Introducing the new Verdi G-Series based on Coherent’s unique optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) technology. This new OPSL version of the Verdi™ family provides the same power, low noise, high quality, and single-spatial mode output as the earlier 2 Watt and 5 Watt Verdi DPSS lasers; but now with a 50% smaller footprint and lower cost point. This combination makes it an ideal source for pumping ultrafast and CW Ti:Sapphire lasers.

Nmark SSaM Coordinates Scanner and Servo Motion

Aerotech’s Nmark™ SSaM is a galvo scanner controller that synchronizes galvo and servo motion, expanding the scanner’s field of view and industrial applicability. Whether vector marking or graphic processing, coordinating the motion overcomes many limitations typically associated with galvo scanners. This allows processing of large components to be completed in one pass, eliminating angular errors and line distortions associated with stitching. Supporting the industry standard XY2-100 interface, the Nmark™ SSaM resides on Aerotech’s Automation 3200 software-based motion controller’s FireWire® network, and can be connected with any other A3200 components, including linear and PWM servo amplifiers, drive racks, and stepper motor controllers.
