Lasers
| Single Mode | Trek™ Diode Laser
The Trek™ can be operated in a wide temperature range (10°C - 35°C), with a stable and quiet laser output power at most wavelengths. The Trek™ has a proven history of RMS noise stability < 1.0%. The combination of excellent beam characteristics (such as mode quality, low divergence, and brightness), makes the Trek™ laser series suitable for beam focusing, as well as for long distance beam positioning.
The Trek™ includes an external laser driver, thermoelectric cooling, and optical fiber coupling with an expected lifetime > 10,000 hours. The Trek™ has been proven reliable up to a 5% peak-to-peak long term power stability rating.
Using the TTL modulation option, the laser can be digitally pulsed in on/off mode up to 20 kHz with a modulation depth > 100:1. With a rise/fall time of < 4 μs, the TTL signal can be used in conjunction 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 applications 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 - 5 V input signal from a function generator. Using the AM option, the laser can be modulated up to 1 kHz with a modulation depth > 100:1.
By internally coupling the laser output into a single-mode fiber optic that acts as a mode filter, the Trek™ laser series delivers a single-mode (TEM00) spatial beam profile with circularity < 1.2:1 and a typical M2 of 1.05 for lasers above 600 nm.

The Trek™ laser series 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.
Since the OEM control box does not come with an external power supply, it requires a 5 V input at 2 A.
Using the TTL modulation option, the laser can be digitally pulsed in on/off mode up to 20 kHz with a modulation depth greater than 100:1. With a rise/fall time of less than 4 μs, the TTL signal can be used in conjunction 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 applications 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 - 5 V input signal from a function generator. Using the AM option, the laser can be modulated up to 1 kHz with a modulation depth grater than 100:1.

User Manual
Compact and self-contained, the Trek™ emits a pure TEM00 beam with diffraction limited performance and a typical M2 of 1.05. Available in UV (375 nm), violet (405 nm), blue (440 nm), red (635 nm, 660 nm, and 685 nm), and NIR (780 nm and 830 nm). With variable power options, these modules are ideal for demanding applications, such as metrology, photoluminescence, printing, illumination, scanning, inspection, particle counting, and a variety of biomedical applications. These turnkey lasers maintain outstanding optical performance over a broad temperature range, guaranteeing minimal power fluctuations and virtually eliminating high frequency noise. Its OEM version has the world’s smallest OEM controller with power consumption < 5 Watts. It has been qualified for use in some of the most demanding high-end instruments, with deployments in the tens of thousands of units. The 375 nm, 405 nm and 440 nm systems replace bulky, expensive gas ion lasers for biomedical and fluorescence applications, without sacrificing beam quality.
