Laser gas - Import export

The Holo-Litho 405 is the ideal replacement for the vintage, power hungry Kr+ gas lasers (406.7 nm and 413.1 nm) commonly used in holographic and lithographic applications. While gas lasers require several kilowatts of electrical power and cumbersome water cooling, the “all‑semiconductor” Holo-Litho 405 draws < 0.08 kW and needs no water cooling to produce similar optical output power. This alone results in a significant reduction in cost of ownership. Furthermore the user also benefits from longer service intervals and lower refurbishment costs. Trained personnel can easily perform on-site replacements of the individual semiconductor field replaceable units, reducing down-time and increasing profitability.

The wavelength meters of the WS series accomplish wavelength measurements with highest accuracy. Both cw and pulsed lasers with narrow-band emission can be examined, monitored and even actively controlled. Various models of the WS series are available, covering UV to IR wavelength ranges (192 nm - 11 µm). Based on a rugged Fizeau interferometer setup without any moving components, the wavelength meters provide quasi unlimited lifetime.The spectrum analyzers LSA and HDSA allow for multi-line or broadband spectrum of light sources like cw and pulsed lasers, gas discharge lamps, super luminescence diodes, semiconductor laser diodes and LEDs.

Distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes feature a grating structure within the semiconductor and thus operate in both longitudinal and transverse single mode. Tuning is achieved by modulating either the laser current or the chip temperature. Mode-hop free tuning is maintained over several hundred GHz. Applications include alkaline spectroscopy, laser cooling, gas detection and the generation of tunable cw terahertz radiation.
