HÜBNER PHOTONICS, through the Cobolt Product line, proudly introduces the 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP (enhanced spectral purity) 785 nm laser for Raman as part of the Cobolt 08-01 Series. The 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP complements the Cobolt 08-01 Series of compact high-performance single frequency and narrow linewidth lasers covering a broad range of 405 nm – 1064 nm for the high resolution Raman market.

Enhanced spectral purity is a desired performance specification especially for low frequency Raman applications and defines how well the side modes are suppressed relative to the main laser peak (SMSR) and how close to the main peak the level of side mode suppression is. Thanks to a patent-pending optical design the spectral purity of the 785 nm laser for Raman: 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP, is >60 dB as close as 0.3 nm away from the main peak. The multi-transverse mode laser has an output power of <400 mW with fully integrated electronics in a single compact package.

Cobolt AB, a part of HÜBNER Photonics, is proud to introduce the Cobolt Tor™ XS, a compact high performance Q-switched laser at 1064 nm and 532 nm, with 100 uJ/pulse and 50 uJ/pulse respectively. The Cobolt Tor™ XS is intended for photoacoustic microscopy applications as well as integration into hand-held or portable instruments for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).

Using the same sophisticated laser cavity design as its big brother, Cobolt Tor™, the Cobolt Tor™ XS provides a unique combination for its size of kHz repetition rates, short pulse lengths (<3 ns) and exceptional pulse-to-pulse stability. In addition, the emission is generated in a TEM00 beam and can be externally triggered from single pulse up to 1 kHz whilst all control electronics are fully integrated. The compact footprint of the complete system measures only 50 x 29 x 21.4 mm and weighs <100 g.

HÜBNER Photonics, a division of the German HÜBNER Group, is pleased to announce the opening of a new direct office in the USA. The new direct office is an expansion of the current Cobolt Inc. office which will essentially be renamed. “Renaming and expanding the Cobolt Inc. office is a logic consequence of the consolidation of all lasers and photonics businesses within HÜBNER into HÜBNER Photonics and with this name change and expansion we will be able to address the whole North American market more coherently with the full HÜBNER Photonics portfolio. From the new HUBNER Photonics Inc. office we will continue to offer the full range of high performance Cobolt lasers, the CW tunable laser C-WAVE along with our full selection of C-FLEX laser combiners. We will continue to serve our customers with the same dedication and excellent support as we have always strived for” says Dr Håkan Karlsson, CEO of HÜBNER Photonics.

The HÜBNER Photonics products are manufactured in Solna, Sweden (Cobolt) and in Kassel, Germany. The HÜBNER Photonics Inc. offices are in San Jose, California. The name change is effective from April 12th, 2019.

Cobolt AB, a part of HÜBNER Photonics, continues to address the Raman spectroscopy market with the addition of 633 nm & 785 nm STM on the 08-01 Series, with the aim to secure the market position as a major supplier of all laser wavelengths to the high resolution Raman market.

The Cobolt 08-NLD 633 nm is a frequency stabilized, Narrow linewidth Laser Diode (NLD) with up to 30 mW and including an integrated optical isolator. The Series is complemented further with addition of a single transverse mode (STM) 08-NLD 785 nm. Also a frequency stabilized, Narrow linewidth Laser Diode (NLD) with up to 120 mW and including an integrated optical isolator. Both lasers have a linewidth <20 pm. All Cobolt lasers are manufactured using proprietary HTCure™ technology and the resulting compact hermetically sealed package which provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions along with exceptional reliability. With demonstrated lifetime capability of >60 000 hours and several thousand units installed in the field, Cobolt lasers have proven to deliver unmatched reliability and performance both in laboratory and industrial environments, and are offered with market leading warranty terms.

HÜBNER Photonics, of which Cobolt AB is a part of, is pleased to announce the opening of a new direct office in the UK. As from November 19th 2018, all UK business will be conducted from the Southampton office, headed by experienced laser and optics specialist, Fiona Evans.

Fiona is excited by “a fantastic opportunity to grow business for HÜBNER Photonics, to sell the Cobolt range of high performance lasers, along with the other award winning lasers from HÜBNER Photonics, such as the unique C-WAVE tunable laser”. Håkan Karlsson, Head of HÜBNER Photonics, is equally excited by the new office saying “with Fiona’s experience and contact network I have no doubts this territory will continue to grow. A local presence will allow us to get closer to our key markets and continue to serve our customers as best we can. We are very pleased to have her on board”.

Cobolt thanks Laser Lines UK for many years of successful business together.

HÜBNER Photonics UK will sell the whole portfolio from the Laser Technology product group including Cobolt, C-WAVE and C-FLEX.
