    Klastech-Karpushko Laser Technologies, has launched its smallest DPSS laser yet, the 532nm SCHERZO LP. The new DPSS laser provides continuous-wave output at 532 nm in a miniaturized package. Powered by the company's next generation technology, the new laser is aimed at the highly competitive low-power 532nm market. At these power levels the unique platform improves 2nd harmonic conversion efficiency by as much as 10 times over existing DPSS architectures. This results in lower power consumption and the ability to utilize ever smaller pump diodes in a dramatically simplified optical train. All this reduces manufacturing cycle time and significantly reduces material costs. The laser exhibits silent running (less than 0.3% rms noise), provides diffraction-limited output beams with M2 better than 1.05, achieves long-term power stability of better than 2% and thanks to the multi-point thermal management, boasts beam pointing stability better than 10 µrad/°C.

    KLASTECH revolutioniZes 532nm DPSS lasers

    KLASTECH-Karpushko Laser Technologies GmbH, has launched its smallest DPSS laser yet, the 532nm SCHERZO LP.

    The new DPSS laser provides continuous wave (CW) output at 532nm in a miniaturised package. Powered by the company's next generation technology, the new laser is aimed at the highly competitive low power 532nm market.

    At these power levels the unique KLASTECH platform improves 2nd harmonic conversion efficiency by as much as 10 times over existing DPSS architectures. This results in lower power consumption and crucially the ability to utilise ever smaller pump diodes in a dramatically simplified optical train. All this reduces manufacturing cycle time and significantly reduces material costs.

    In common with all other KLASTECH DPSS lasers the SCHERZO LP exhibits silent running (<0.3% rms noise), provides diffraction limited output beams with M2 better than 1.05, achieves long term power stability of <2% and thanks to the multi-point thermal management, boasts beam pointing stability <10µrad/°C.

    Inherently producing Pitch Perfect single frequency performance with a line width less than 1MHz, the laser can be utilised in most areas, from bio-photonics where SLM performance may not be required, right through to high end metrology and spectroscopy applications.

    The laser is available in powers from 10-50mW. Higher powers are available from its larger stable mate, the SCHERZO.
    The laser will be shown at the 49th Annual Meeting of Cell Biology in San Diego in December.
