iFLEX2000 - Fiber Coupled Lasers - Point Source - #1

Text version of the page

1 of 2 The iFLEX2000™ is a compact laser diode system with a modular singlemode fiber delivery system. The laser is mode-hop free and wavelength stabilized as a direct result of active temperature control. A closed loop control provides long term power stability and an ability to monitor the power via an external output signal. The laser module is guaranteed for long lifetime and delivers exceptional power stability with low amplitude noise. All models feature an interlock and output diagnostics for laser current and temperature as standard. Features include a high dynamic range 5MHz TTL modulation option or a variable power control via analog modulation up to 5MHz. All lasers feature diffraction limited output beams with zero astigmatism, high spatial coherence and low dynamic pointing error. The iFLEX2000™ is compatible with a number of commercially available imaging software packages such as Olympus cell^R™, MetaMorph® and ìManager and a number of add-on interfaces ensure a complete solution for all microscope systems. The kinematic design of the laser to fiber coupler enables true ‘Plug & Play’ benefits for singlemode and polarization-preserving fiber designs. Sub-micron repeatability and sub-microradian stability mean systems can be ‘factory set’ and stable for multiple remove and insert operations. The laser and fiber systems are also optimized for unmatched laser modules thus providing true modularity for instrument design and ease of replacement. Laser systems can be made available in constant current mode and in ultra-low noise versions. OEM options also include custom multiplexed laser modules with customer specific lasers.
