Helium cadmium (HeCd) lasers have long been a staple in various scientific and industrial applications, prized for their precise wavelengths and stable output. However, recent regulatory changes in the European Union (EU) have impacted their availability, prompting the need for alternatives.
Ultrafast fiber lasers have revolutionized the field of photonics, offering a range of advantages over traditional lasers. One of the main advantages of using ultrafast femtosecond fiber lasers is the high peak power that they offer, which is a result of their ultra-short pulse duration. Read more here!
State-of-the-art OPO technology delivers visible, single frequency, tunable laser light from 450 nm – 650 nm. Read about our unique solution to achieve single frequency cw tunable light in the visible to MIR regions.
The visible spectral region remains difficult to access with conventional tunable laser devices. This is why recently commercialized sources based on cw optical parametric oscillator or OPO technology gain market awareness – and become increasingly recognized as cost effective and user friendly turn-key solutions.
A vast number of experimental studies in that context call for high-quality continuous-wave (cw) laser light that is tunable throughout the visible spectral range, a region which is not straight forward to cover seamlessly with most of the common tunable laser designs. Alternative sources based on cw optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology have become commercially available relatively recently only - and are gaining popularity remarkably quickly.
In the experimental quantum research community, widely tunable continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators (CW OPOs) are gaining recognition as novel sources of tunable laser light with great potential – not least due to their unprecedented wavelength coverage. Yet, the overall experimental requirements remain often challenging for the performance of turnkey OPO devices.
Through the well-known Swedish laser manufacturer Cobolt AB, a proven supplier of high performance lasers of more than 15 years, HÜBNER Photonics division offers one of the industry’s broadest ranges of compact single-frequency CW lasers, diode lasers, multi-line lasers and Q-switched lasers across the full UV-Visible-NIR spectrum.
