The​​ gem 640​​ laser from​​ Laser Quantum​​ is an excellent choice for super-resolution microscopy. The benefits of gem 640 include:

• Superior SM fiber​​ coupling

• Unified compact platform

• Power > 500 mW

• Excellent wall plug efficiency

Superlum Diodes has launched the OEM Broadsweepers at 790 nm, 840 nm and 930 nm. These compact, wavelength-swept, tunable lasers are designed to work in OEM applications. They have a maximum sweep rate up to 10,000 nm/s and optical power up to 3 mW (up to 20 mW after boosting). Their tuning range is from 55 nm up to 110 nm, spectral linewidth below 0.05 nm, +12 VDC operating voltage. They also feature digital control of performance parameters. When combined, they cover spectral range from 765 nm to 985 nm without gaps.

Researches are using the​​ PHAROS laser from Light Conversion​​ to​​ control the spatial distribution of functional groups on 2D materials. They have demonstrated periodic modulation of graphene doping using laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS).

The gem laser family from Laser Quantum is ideal for super resolution microscopy methods, such as Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM). Specifications of this laser include:

• More the 500 mW power

• Wide range of wavelengths

• Excellent beam quality (M² of < 1.2, TEM00)

Two of​​ Light Conversion’s products ―​​ CARBIDE 80 W, 800 µJ laser with BiBurst​​ and​​ Industrial Grade Optical Parametric Amplifier I-OPA​​ ― are recognized among the best by the 2020 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards.

CO2 lasers, such as​​ the L4-G and L3-LS lasers from Access Laser,​​ are proven tools for material inspection via spectroscopic techniques. Recently atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scattering scanning nearfield optical microscopy (s-SNOM) have gained traction due to their complementary setups.
