Compass Yellow
Coherent Inc.Request Info
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 18, 2006 -- The new Compass Yellow from Coherent Inc. is a compact, all-solid-state
laser delivering 20 mW of continuous-wave output at 561 nm in a
diffraction-limited (TEM00) beam. According to the company,
this laser will meet a growing demand for yellow laser excitation in
fluorescence-based bioinstrumentation applications such as confocal
microscopy. Compass Yellow is based on Coherent's line of field-proven,
diode-pumped Compass green lasers, with which it shares a platform.
This shared platform simplifies the transition to yellow excitation for
existing users of Compass green lasers, the company said.The
higher power, low-noise output, and field-proven reliability of the
Compass line also make Compass Yellow an attractive alternative
for instrument builders currently using other yellow laser sources,
including solid-state and Kr+ ion lasers, Coherent said.
According
to the company, the reliability of the Compass design has been well
established by more than 15,000 Compass lasers currently operating in
the field. Compass Yellow also incorporates the same intracavity
frequency-doubling platform, but uses the less known Nd:YAG
fundamental at 1122 nm for a final output at 561 nm. Consequently,
Coherent said, Compass Yellow delivers all the Compass family
advantages for OEM and research applications, including a small
footprint, low power consumption and reduced thermal budgets for
simplified integration and remote operation.
