Broadband
supercontinuum laser
The Solea White supercontinuum laser
emits between 480 and 700 nm from
a polarization-maintaining singlemode
fiber with a FC/PC connector. Average
spectral output reaches more than 250
m W at a 40 MHz repetition rate, which
corresponds to an average spectral
density of 0.4 m W/nm. The laser can
be externally triggered at any repetition
rate between 1 and 40 MHz, permit-ting synchronization with other lasers
for multicolor excitation schemes.

Fiber workstation
The CW-5000 workstation fabricates
heated and drawn fiber-optic products,
including multiport biconical fused couplers and WDMs, fiber tapers, power
combiners, and many types of custom
fiber processing. It has interchangeable
platforms, optional gas/heating nozzle
configuration, and software controls.

High-speed cameras
The v-Series line of 1 Mpixel high-speed cameras includes the Phantom
v2011, v1611, and v1211 cameras.
They offer sensitivity as high as ISO
6400 (daylight illumination) for color
images and ISO 32,000 for monochrome images. They have use in low-light and difficult-to-light scenarios.

Photodiodes
SXUVPS4 photodiodes withstand up
to four days of exposure to 10 eV/1016
photons/cm2 without responsivity
degradation. Suited for laser alignment
applications, they provide
0.125 to 0.02 A/W over a 10 to 200
nm wavelength range. The large circular detection surface is optimized for
alignment of lasers with four elements,
each offering a 1. 25 mm2 active area.

Linear stage
The M-417 linear stage provides 500
mm travel and 0.5 μm resolution. This
motorized precision positioner can be
computer-controlled for automation
and precision assembly applications.
