Product catalog summary

Overview
Cobolt AB offers a range of high-performance laser assemblies designed for advanced optogenetics research. These solutions are developed in collaboration with leading research laboratories and are tailored for channelrhodopsin activation and halorhodopsin inhibition. The lasers are available in various configurations and wavelengths to match the sensitivity peaks of commonly used rhodopsins.

Specifications
The Cobolt 06-01 Series lasers are ultra-compact, plug-and-play, and modulatable, with precision electronics. The Cobolt 06-MLD 473 nm is highlighted as the preferred laser for optogenetics. The Cobolt 04-01 Series offers diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers for wavelengths not available in the 06-01 Series, such as 594 nm. Configurations include single lasers or dual lasers combined into a single multi-mode fiber, with or without intensity modulation capability.

Product Configurations
1. 2-in-1 Laser & Fiber Combiner: Combines Cobolt 06-01 Series and Modulated DPSS lasers (473 nm + 594 nm) with modulation capabilities up to 3 MHz.
2. Single Cobolt 06-01 Series Laser & Fiber Coupler: Available in wavelengths such as 473 nm, 561 nm, and 638 nm, with modulation up to 150 MHz.
3. Single Cobolt Modulated DPSS Laser with Integrated AOM & Fiber Coupler: Offers 594 nm wavelength with modulation up to 3 MHz.

Performance and Features
All configurations provide full control over pulse generation, ensuring perfect pulse-to-pulse stability and high extinction ratios. The fiber coupling efficiencies exceed 80%. The systems are designed for easy attachment of multi-mode fibers with core diameters ranging from 50-200 μm.

Graphical Data
The document includes pulse graphs for Cobolt Mambo™ 594 nm laser with AOM modulation and Cobolt 06-MLD 473 nm laser with direct modulation, illustrating typical laser pulse trains with sub-microsecond pulses.

Additional Information
Each system description includes part numbers, descriptions, and specific features such as output power, modulation capabilities, and fiber coupling details. The document emphasizes the modularity and adaptability of the laser systems to meet various research needs.

Data sheet Cobolt Optogenetics Laser Solution Cobolt offers a range of high performance, reliable and user friendly laser assemblies specially tailored for advanced Optogenetics research. The laser assemblies have been developed in close collaboration with leading Optogenetics research laboratories and offer experiment-ready solutions for configurable solutions for channelrhodopsin activation and halorhodopsin inhibition. Cobolt’s Optogenetics solutions include single-line lasers with stable and efficient coupling into multi-mode fibers, two lasers on one platform launched into one common fiber coupler or two lasers sitting side by side launched into one fiber each, suitable for 2-into-1 coupling using e.g. fused fibers. The lasers are available at various wavelengths matching the sensitivity peaks of the commonly used rhodopsins, with adjustable optical output power up to over 100 mW and fast high aspect ratio modulation with perfect pulse control. Each configuration starts with a highly reliable and very stable Cobolt laser. The Cobolt 06-01 Series lasers are ultra-compact plug & play modulatable lasers that can be directly modulated and feature precision electronics. The Cobolt 06-MLD 473 nm is the preferred laser for optogenetics. The Cobolt 04-01 Series of diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers enables laser excitation at wavelengths not available in the Cobolt 06-01 Series lasers, for example 594 nm. Configurations described in this document include single lasers or two lasers combined into a single multi-mode fiber (MM), lasers with or without intensity modulation capability and stand-alone lasers or assemblies with fiber couplers. To each fiber-coupled system, a MM fiber (with 50-200μm core diameter) of your choice can be easily attached. All packages offer full control over the pulse generation, perfect pulse-to-pulse stability, high extinction ratio and fiber coupling efficiencies of > 80%.
