New LuxxMasterTM Raman Source for Use in Medical Technology, Industrial and Military Applications


854

The new generation of Raman sources is four times smaller and 30% less expensive than the previous models.

 

Designed for OEM applications, the stabilised laser source is well suited for Raman spectroscopy and sensor applications. Using a Volume Bragg Grating, the 785 nm laser wavelength is stabilised to within ±0.5nm, across the entire operating temperature range from 0°C to 50°C. At the same time, the full width at half maximum is typically reduced to 0.08 nm. The noise level of the laser is <0.25% rms. A supply voltage of 5 V is required for operation.

 

Other wavelengths, e.g. 532 nm, are also available.


INTERFACES

  • USB: With the help of the USB interface, the source can be controlled using a PC
  • Optically (FC/APC): Connecting a 105 µm MM fibre, for example, from which a typical output power of 500 mW can be achieved.
