High Powered Red Laser lux 660 launched

The use of red (660nm) diode lasers is extensive in life science laboratories for applications such as DNA sequencing, fluorescence and raman spectroscopy. Laser Quantum has launched the lux laser that delivers up to 1W of 660nm laser power in a compact head design. This high power is achieved with the high beam quality and long lifetimes expected from a DPSS laser. With an M2 of <1.2, RMS Noise levels of 0.6% and power stability of 1%, the lux offers all the advantages of a DPSS laser and now the power available from diode lasers.

New ventus 532nm laser launched

The ventus was first launched in 2001 as a mid-powered green laser for scientific laboratories. The family has grown to offer a range of power from 50mW to 1.5W in a number of different laser heads. Laser Quantum has announced a redesign of this popular range into a more compact head and significant improvements in beam quality. Noise levels down from 2% to 0.5 (0.15% for the higher powers), and power stability from 2% to 0.4%. M2, divergence, and weight have also been improved.
