Pulsed lasers for laser marking, LIBS and photoacoustics

HÜBNER Photonics is proud to introduce the Cobolt Tor™ XE, a high performance compact Q-switched laser at 1064 nm and with 0.5 mJ/pulse. The Cobolt Tor™ XE is intended for integration into instruments for laser marking, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and micro-machining as well as photoacoustic microscopy applications.

Using the same sophisticated laser cavity design as the other lasers in the Cobolt Tor™ Series, the Cobolt Tor™ XE delivers a unique combination of kHz repetition rates, short pulse lengths (<3.5 ns) and exceptional pulse-to-pulse stability (jitter < 2 us) in a TEM₀₀ beam. In addition, through advanced and fully integrated control electronics the emission can be triggered from single pulses up to 1 kHz pulse trains or bursts of pulses using external or internal trigger signals.

The lasers are manufactured using Cobolt’s proprietary HTCure^TM Technology in a compact and hermetically sealed package, which provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions and exceptional reliability. Lasers built using the HTCure^TM Technology have shown to withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks in operation without any sign of degraded performance. They can be exposed to extreme temperatures (>100°C) and are insensitive to pressure and humidity.

• Compact Q-switched laser at 1064 nm
• 0.5 mJ/pulse
• Applications: Marking, LIBS and photoacoustics
• Integrated electronics

“How to select your laser for Raman spectroscopy”

Welcome to sign up!

Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 9am EST | 2pm GMT | 3pm CET

In this webcast, we discuss:

• Important performance parameters to consider when selecting a laser for Raman spectroscopy experiments
• Different laser technologies and how the performance impacts the Raman experiment

Key Learning Objectives:

• What performance parameters should be considered when selecting a laser for Raman spectroscopy
• How this performance can affect the Raman experiment data

Who Should Attend:

• If you are involved in instrument design or an experimental setup of a Raman spectroscopy–based system or experiment

The webcast is hosted by Specroscopy.

Cobolt AB, a part of HÜBNER Photonics

Dr Håkan Karlsson founded the high performance laser manufacturer, Cobolt AB, in 2000. With a strong reputation for excellent quality cw lasers serving the life science and analytical instrument markets, Cobolt was acquired by HÜBNER to form HÜBNER Photonics in 2016.

Cobolt AB, a part of HÜBNER Photonics

Dr Peter Jänes has a PhD in photonics, many years experience in telecom and fiber optics, and has worked as a laser design engineer previous to his current position as product manager.

The Day of Photonics is an annual event celebrated on the 21st October to increase awareness of photonics to the general public and especially school children. We usually invite local class groups into our factory for an educational tour but in this COVID year we have decided to make an educational video instead and send to local schools.

Our educational video (in Swedish) is intended to give students a glimse into the photonics world by helping them understand what lasers are and how they are used in real life. We also show what kind of jobs the students could have if they work for a laser company.

We hope we can inspire some young minds to study photonics in the future.

Happy Day of Photonics!

Visit Quantum 2020 and see our Poster #31180: Novel continuous-wave lasers tailored for identification, characterization, and manipulation of single color centers in diamond

The poster session is P5 (Quantum Sensing, Metrology and Imaging) on Monday 19th Oct 2:30 -7:00 AM UTC (China time)

06-MLD 375 nm laser with 70 mW

HÜBNER Photonics is proud to announce a new wavelength in our Cobolt 06-01 Series of plug & play lasers; the 06-MLD 375 nm diode laser!

All lasers in our Cobolt 06-01 Series have fast modulation via analog and/or digital signals with true off, come with integrated clean-up filters as standard and can be controlled in Micromanager.

All our Cobolt 06-01 Series lasers are compatible with and can be integrated into the C-FLEX family of laser combiners. Making it easier to combine multiple wavelengths in all sorts of applications ranging from life science to holography.

See the specifications:

New stabilized 488 nm laser by Cobolt for Raman spectroscopy

HÜBNER Photonics proudly introduces the 08-NLD 488 nm as part of the Cobolt 08-01 Series. The 08-NLD 488 nm, with 40 mW output power, 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. This Series is specifically designed to meet the requirements in high resolution Raman spectroscopy applications.

Thanks to the innovative proprietary optical design and manufacturing process, the 08-NLD 488 nm has exceptional wavelength stability of <1 pm (over 8 hrs, ±3 C), spectral bandwidth <1 pm and spectral purity >40 dB with fully integrated electronics in a single compact package.

All Cobolt lasers are manufactured using proprietary HTCure™ technology and the resulting compact hermetically sealed package provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions along with exceptional reliability. With demonstrated lifetime capability 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.
