ESP 785 nm for Raman by Cobolt
From: HUBNER Photonics
HÜBNER Photonics proudly introduces the 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP (enhanced spectral purity) 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 for the high-resolution Raman market. The spectral purity of the 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP is >60 dB as close as 0.3 nm away from the main peak.

LZM-120A+ Laser Splicing System
From: AFL
The LZM-120A+ is an optical fiber processor/splicer using a CO2 laser as its heating source. This machine performs laser-based fiber shaping functions such as, homogenous fiber splicing, dissimilar fiber splicing, tapering, end-capping, ball lensing, and component fabrication. This new addition to the LZM-120 family now offers fiber ablation. - Create clad mode strippers
- Cleave large-diameter fibers
- Produce sensor arrays
- Punch holes with desired shapes on glass capillaries

The Machine You Need | IG280SD
From: DCM Tech Inc.
The IG280SD rotary surface grinder is the machine you need to reduce bottlenecks and increase efficiency in your production process. While it is powerful enough to remove large amounts of material quickly, this grinder features a servo-driven Z-axis for precision and finishing. This has allowed many DCM customers to reduce the number of lapping and polishing processes needed for a finished product. Stop by booth #2138 to learn more.
