❂ Lasers

Laser Quantum launches the excel CW 532nm laser that is capable of up to 2W whilst maintaining noise at <0.5% RMS. The excel’s compact design means you get all of the excellent specifications with a laser that fits in the palm of your hand. The new intelligent smd12 power supply allows operation in power or current mode, with power stability of <0.4%.

The excel’s robust design, its low requirements for temperature control and long warranty periods make it ideal for scientific applications and integration into other instruments. Applications include PIV, Ophthalmology and other microscopy.

Ventus LP and HP 532nm range will now be presented in a single head from 50mW to 1.5W with improved noise and stability specifications

❂ Optics

VGA lenses, with 2.0 mm Total Track Length, based on a 2.5 micron pixel pitch VGA sensor (=1/9″ format).

❂ Detectors

The SHD033 matches the sensitivity of a PMT using solid state amplification of a silicon photodiode. The proprietary preamp is unique in that is preamplifies the current-chopped junction charge of the cell, providing and 82 dB linear response. Built-in temperature control and leakage shielding minimize noise and dark current. The special silicon cell has a broad spectral range with excellent sensitivity in the near I, recovers rapidly from overload (such as direct sunlight), which would destroy a PMT) while maintaining its calibration integrity over time.

Since the complex preamplification circuitry is located within the actual detector head, noise is held to a minimum. The remote circuitry requires input voltages automatically provided by the ILT1700 Research Radiometer.

Description: 33 mm2 silicon detector with internal high gain amplifier. Measurement range: 1(10-13) to 15(10-6) W. Compatible with ILT1700 only. Spectral range: 200-1050nm, 750nm peak

Light-Conversion is the world leading manufacturer of continuously wavelength tunable ultrafast light sources based on TOPAS series of optical parametric amplifiers and frequency mixers. Established in 1994, as a spin-off from Vilnius University Laser Research Center, the company has built its strength on profound knowledge in the field of optical parametric generation and amplification accumulated by its people in general and its leader Dr. Romualdas Danielius in particular.

Starting from 2007 Light Conversion has introduced it’s new development – PHAROS ultra short laser system. Featuring market-leading femtosecond pulse output parameters along with robust, industrial design PHAROS has gained significant attention of industrial and scientific customers. Primary applications of Light Conversion femtosecond laser are in material processing and micromachining. However coupled with ORPHEUS parametric amplifiers PHAROS becomes an attractive laser source for ultrafast spectroscopy applications.

Light Conversion is a private company with >70 employees. The company is based in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The company’s activities are mainly concentrated on the product development, manufacturing and service.
