The 450nm diode laser emits up to 200W from a single fiber with a core diameter as small as 100μm. The diode module comes with hermetically sealed package, water cooling baseplate and a high-power SMA connector. Thermistor and photodiode are integrated in the package. To drive the diode an appropriate power supply is available. 450nm laser is an idea light source for processing non-ferrous metals such as gold, copper and copper alloys.

Do you plan to upgrade your laser welding production? Then get to know our AXIALSCAN FIBER RD-30! Its prefocusing optics cover large workpieces at high laser power, while an integrated fiber-coupling ensures a smooth integration. Together with our RAYSPECTOR in-focus observation, the ASF RD-30 offers reliable and precise in-process monitoring and ensures your production quality even for complex applications.

OSI Multi-element X-Ray series consists of 16-element arrays. The individual elements are grouped together and mounted on PCB for X-ray or Gamma-ray application. These multi-channel detectors offer scintillator-mounting options such as BGO, CdWO4 or CsI(TI). Visit our site for further information.

Liquid Light Guides are flexible, unbreakable, and very durable, and they have significantly better transmission, more homogeneous illumination, and a larger aperture than fiber bundles at lower costs! They are the perfect solutions for applications that demand uniform, high-intensity light. We offer four different series designed for diverse spectra ranging from ultraviolet to infrared and a broad selection of end fittings.

The 872 Series High-Resolution Laser Wavelength Meter is ideal for the frequency stabilization of lasers. Offering a frequency resolution as high as 200 kHz, the 872 Series provides exceptional sensitivity to wavelength deviations. With a built-in PID controller and 1 kHz sustained measurement rate, the 872 Series is well suited to precisely stabilize lasers used in applications such as atomic cooling and trapping.
