CleanLaze® Product Line

The CleanLaze® laser series is capable of maintaining a linewidth of less than 0.03nm (15GHz) in single transverse mode operation at 785nm. The core part of this laser is a high-power broad-stripe laser diode with its output spectrum narrowed and stabilized using a novel cavity technology. Conventional external cavity lasers are both delicate and high in maintenance cost due to the inclusion of external reflective dispersive elements resulting in a long cavity length. While in the CleanLaze®, the wavelength selective element is an integral part of the laser diode through a hybrid integration process, resulting in an ultra compact footprint (4mm x 4mm x 3mm) which is stable against environmental changes (temperature, vibration, humidity, etc.).

The CleanLaze® includes an integrated laser driver, thermoelectric cooling and optical fiber coupling with an expected lifetime greater than 10,000 hours. The CleanLaze® has a proven history of reliability with a 5% peak-to-peak long term power stability rating.

The CleanLaze® novel cavity design is capable of maintaining a stable clean narrow linewidth source over a wide range of temperatures and drive currents. The temperature sensitivity of the central wavelength is as low as 0.01nm/°C with a -35°C to 50°C operating temperature range.

With the TTL modulation option the laser can be digitally pulsed in on/off mode up to 100kHz in multi-mode with a modulation depth greater than 100:1. With a rise / fall time of less than one microsecond the TTL signal can be incorporated with the trigger signal of your detection system to control your measurement cycle and integration time. TTL modulation is ideal for Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and other application where the source and the detector need to be precisely triggered. With analog modulation (AM) the laser output power is controlled by applying an arbitrary 0-5V input signal from a function generator. With the AM option the laser can be modulated up to 1kHz in multimode operation with a modulation depth greater than 100:1.

The CleanLaze® can provide both single-mode (TEM00) and multi-mode spatial beam profiles. M2 < 1.1 can be achieved by single-mode fiber coupling which acts as a mode filter eliminating any higher order transverse modes.

The CleanLaze® can be equipped with an optional USB connection and our easy to use LazUSB™ software interface for laser power control and real time monitoring of internal laser conditions.

Applications:

Ideal source for Raman spectroscopy as well as fluorescence spectroscopy. Our patented* CleanLaze® technology utilizes a clean, narrow bandwidth laser which makes it ideal for Raman spectroscopy since the quality of the Raman peaks are directly related to the sharpness and stability of the delivered light source.

The CleanLaze® offers a long coherence length which is ideal for high resolution metrology, microscopy and digital holography.

The narrow linewidth of the CleanLaze® can be utilized for injection seeding of high power lasers and nonlinear devices, such as optical parametric generation (OPG).

The 808nm CleanLaze® model can also be used as a narrow linewidth pump source for Nd:YAG / Nd:YVO4 lasers.

The CleanLaze® can be equipped with an optional USB connection and our easy to use LazUSB™ software interface for laser power control and real time monitoring of internal laser conditions.

CleanLaze®

The CleanLaze® laser series is capable of maintaining a linewidth of less than 0.03nm (15GHz) in single transverse mode operation at 785nm. The core part of this laser is a high-power broad-stripe laser diode with its output spectrum narrowed and stabilized using a novel cavity technology. Conventional external cavity lasers are both delicate and high in maintenance cost due to the inclusion of external reflective dispersive elements resulting in a long cavity length. While in the CleanLaze®, the wavelength selective element is an integral part of the laser diode through a hybrid integration process, resulting in an ultra compact footprint (4mm x 4mm x 3mm) which is stable against environmental changes (temperature, vibration, humidity, etc.). The utilization of a broad-stripe laser diode guarantees a low cost module while delivering higher output power than its DFB and DBR counterparts. The wavelength selective element filters out unwanted spectral sidelobes from the broad-stripe laser diode and locks its output wavelength to the filter’s central wavelength.
