Product Highlights

• 
  Optical-fiber switches speed analytical measurement equipment
  Piezosystem Jena has developed and manufactured a broad range of optical multiplexer/fiber switches for all standard fibers with diameters from 50 to 600 µm. The switches are designed to address the need for analyzing more more signals by one receiver in a less time. An input fiber is moved by a piezo-based electrical actuator to an output fiber so that a surface cross coupling is achieved with an excellent signal flow.



• 
  SmartQuantum launches ultra-low-noise single-photon detector
  SmartQuantum has launched an ultra-low-noise single-photon detector. The SQLightSensor is a family of ultra-low-noise near-infrared single-photon detectors for the most demanding scientific, defense and industrial applications, such as single-photon counting, spectroscopy, eye-safe laser range finding and LIDAR, optical communications, and quantum cryptography.



• 
  Chameleon OPO is alignment free, fully automated, and computer controlled
  The compact Chameleon OPO (optical parametric oscillator) from APE is the first completely alignment free, fully automated and computer controlled OPO, along with the highest flexibility in pump- and OPO output wavelengths. In conjunction with the Chameleon pump laser by Coherent it is the ideal excitation source for MPE (multiphoton excitation) microscopy from 680 to 1200 nm.



• 
  Seed laser module designed for fiber-laser applications
  3S Photonics has launched the industry's most powerful CW and pulsed 1064 nm cooled laser-diode modules to be used as seed lasers for fiber-laser applications. These seed laser modules have been characterized at very high operating peak currents up to 1.7A with 1 µs/500Khz pulses.



• 
  Photop announces fiber-pigtailed laser family
  Photop Technologies has announced its Fiber Pigtailed Laser Family, which includes pigtailed laser-diode products and dual-color fiber combiners. Both types of products have multiwavelength choices covering the spectral band from blue to IR, and other customized colors. Varied options of fibers (single-mode, PM and multimode) and customized fiber-output collimators are also available.



• 
  ZeMapper provides high-resolution precision 3-D surface maps
  The ZeMapper interferometric optical profiler provides three-dimensional surface maps with the highest lateral and vertical resolution in a user-friendly automated process. Its 4-megapixel image sensor combines a large field of view with highest resolution available in any commercial profiler. Advanced processing of the interferometric data leads to rapid precision measurements with sub-Angstrom repeatability.



• 
  1 kW fiber-delivered direct-diode system designed for industrial applications
  Coherent has introduced its first, fiber-delivered 1 kW direct-diode laser system for industrial applications. In a highly reliable design based on closed-loop cooling, the HighLight 1000F offers a flexible, mobile solution for today's industrial applications. It is a high brightness system that produces 1 kW of output at 975 nm from a 600-µm-core fiber having a numerical aperture of 0.22.



• 
  Short-pulse ultrafast laser is fully automated
  Newport Corporation's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division has introduced the Mai Tai SP, the first fully automated, hands-free <25 fs one-box ultrafast oscillator with adjustable pulse width. Built on the Mai Tai laser platform, it is highly stable and easy-to-use, and is ideal for seeding the Spitfire Pro ultrafast amplifier system, which can be used for pump-probe spectroscopy, THz generation, high-harmonic generation, and other time-resolved spectroscopy applications.



• 
  SPI Laser adds 40 W pulsed laser to redENERGY series
  SPiI Lasers has announced the addition of a 40 W pulsed fiber laser with peak power in excess of 20 kW to its redENERGY series of lasers for marking a micromachining. The redENERGY fiber lasers are ideal for a wide range of marking applications, including black anneal color marking on stainless steel, paint layer removal on mobile phone keypads, and marking integrated circuits (ICs).

  First built-in photodiode trigger for beam-profiling cameras
  Ophir-Spiricon has announced the industry's first built-in photodiode trigger for beam-profiling cameras. The trigger is part of the company's USB 2.0 Silicon CCD Cameras designed specifically for laser-beam measurement applications, the SP503U and SP620U. These cameras accurately capture and analyze wavelengths from 190 to 1550 nm, both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed mode.
