Applications:

Make ultra-sensitive measurements of Rayleigh, Raman, fluorescence or phosphorescence emissions generated by deep UV excitation. The self-contained, integrated laser controller enables remote computer control for ease of operation and flexible data collection via LabView software. Our instrument solutions combine a deep UV laser source with an array of analyzer and detector plug-and-play modules. Detection choices include single-channel and multi-channel photomultiplier tube (PMT) and photodiode detector modules, which are gated in synchronism with the laser and offer flexible boxcar integration and averaging for enhanced signal-to-noise data collection.

An array of accessories, such as emission line purity modules and fiber optic couplers, enables mating of our components with a wide range of devices from third-party suppliers. Communication with the laser and all plug-and-play modules is accomplished via USB or Ethernet using LabView drivers. Our instrument solutions provide a seamless fit for many applications such as laser induced native fluorescence or UV resonance Raman analyzers, photoluminescence, capillary electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography, phosphorescence and many other types of instruments.

Deep UV

The DUV family of lasers offers 224.3 nm and 248.6 nm wavelengths for a fraction of the cost of the competition. The laser is similar in size, weight and power consumption to a HeNe laser but has a deep UV output. With an input power of < 10 W the need for water cooling and other thermal management issues are eliminated. Without preheating or temperature regulation these lasers reach full power in less than 10 μs from a cold start from any ambient temperature with the range of -200°C to 100°C. With an output power greater than 250 mW and a linewidth less than 3 GHz (0.1 cm-1), these lasers are ideal sources for a wide range of applications.

Rugged design, reliable performance and low cost make our deep UV lasers ideal for both laboratory and field research as well as for OEM system integration.
