HÜBNER Photonics, a division of the HÜBNER Group, is pleased to be appointed by Azur Light Systems (ALS) of France to distribute their products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (D/A/CH) as well as the Nordics from June 1st 2017. HÜBNER Photonics’ leading laser technology company, Cobolt AB, will distribute ALS in the Nordics.

Azur Light Systems manufactures high performance, single frequency, high power CW fiber lasers and amplifiers, complementing well the laser product range from HÜBNER Photonics. Ingolf Cedra, CEO of HÜBNER Photonics, says ‘the ALS product line is aligned with our current portfolio ensuring our customers will benefit from being able to source a broader range of high performance lasers in turn leading to a prosperous relationship between HÜBNER Photonics and ALS’. Nicholas Traynor, CEO of Azur Light Systems, is equally positive to the new relationship, adding that ‘HÜBNER/Cobolt have proven expertise and experience in the scientific and industrial markets of interest to us, this relationship should help enable significant commercial acceleration in D/A/CH and the Nordics’.

Thank you to our guest speakers and attendees for helping to make our recent mini conference a very successful afternoon!

Just over 100 people gathered at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm to hear 7 guest speakers talk about their research and how photonics and lasers are helping them find answers. Whether it is for cancer research, brain research or even new spectroscopic methods used in Life science, we all heard how Cobolt lasers are helping them in their research.

Cobolt AB and HÜBNER Photonics are pleased to announce a Mini Conference on ‘Why Photonics Matters in Life Science’.

You are invited to enjoy an afternoon of exciting talks from prominant local and European researchers in the field of Life Science. To be held at Karolinska Institutet, Andreas Vesalius hall (Stockholm) from 14:00-18:00 on Monday 29th May.

The Conference is free but space is limited so we ask you to register.

For the detailed agenda see more information here. We look forward to seeing you!

Cobolt AB have received the largest order so far for the year for an unanticipated application. The Indian fishing authorities have placed an order for an undisclosed number of Cobolt Samba™ 25 mW lasers. The Cobolt Samba™ lasers have the perfect weight, size and splash to attract the largest of Tunis Albacares (Yellow fin tunas).

As all Cobolt lasers are manufactured using the proprietary HTCure™ technology, there is simply no question that the compact hermetically sealed package which provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions is definitely an advantage to surviving the reel-in adventure associated with getting the tuna on board. Cobolt forecast similar orders already this year from other commercial fishing agencies and have commented that the longer and narrower NLD 785 nm laser could offer improved attractiveness even to the Caranx Ignobilis (Giant Trevally).

Cobolt AB announces the release of a higher power model of the Cobolt Twist™ 457 nm on the 05-01 Series platform. With up to 200 mW single-frequency CW output power, the Cobolt Twist™ is perfectly suited to demanding applications in holography, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence. The wavelength and optical properties makes it ideal as a replacement of bulkier Ar+ lasers.

The Cobolt Twist™ is a continuous-wave single-frequency diode pumped laser (DPL) operating at 457.0 nm in a perfect quality TEM00 beam (M2< 1.1). A proprietary laser cavity design provides ultra-low noise performance of typically <0.2 % rms (over 20 Hz-20 MHz and over 10-40 ℃), stable single longitudinal mode (SLM) operation, intrinsically excellent wavelength stability and immunity to optical feedback.
