Cobolt 08-01 Series

Compact narrow linewidth lasers

The Cobolt 08-01 Series is a family of compact narrow linewidth continuous-wave lasers, including high performance single frequency diode pumped lasers (DPL) as well as frequency stabilized diode lasers (NLD). This Series offers the broadest wavelength range and highest performance lasers on the market for Raman spectroscopy.

405 nm – 1064 nm, up to 500 mW
Excellent wavelength stability, < 1 pm (over ±3 °C, 8 hrs)
Guaranteed excellent spectral purity, > 80 dB
Integrated electronics
Integrated optional optical isolator and spectral clean-up filter
Fiber coupled option
Ultra-robust, proven reliability
Ensured stable narrow linewidth emission over the full laser lifetime and a wide range of operating conditions
24 months warranty, unlimited hours

Applications

Perfect for Raman spectroscopy, interferometry, dynamic light scattering.

Software

Software	Description
Cobolt Monitor	Cobolt Monitor^TM is a combined GUI for all Cobolt laser models. The GUI supports simultaneous connection and monitoring of multiple lasers, configured for either RS232 or USB2.0. The GUI automatically searches for new Cobolt lasers connected to the computer and presents them listed.
USB Driver	To connect to the laser via USB, the USB driver must be installed. When installed, a virtual COM port will be created to communicate with the laser.
Lab View	Use to integrate the Cobolt lasers into Lab view environment.
