Family of Smart Lasers. Superior Reliability & Performance

for Your Application. OBIS philosophy Different technologies continue to serve a demand for distinct wavelengths in Life Sciences and other instrumentation applications. Coherent has set the standard in reliability for these applications with its laser diode and optically pumped semiconductor laser based solutions. What was missing, and what was required by researchers, was a smart laser platform – one that utilized available technologies but had the ability to provide wavelengths throughout the spectrum. A laser platform that had intelligence designed in, but with a design that would offer the...

This is OBIS. A Smart Laser. Plug-and-play value OBIS is a breakthrough laser platform offering plug-and-play simplicity that allows for faster integration thereby reducing the cost of integration and time to market. With its smart electronics, integrated controller and compact packaging, OBIS completely eliminates the cost and complexity of separate controllers. OBIS is the smallest – and smartest – laser platform on the market. Simply plug in the DC source and your laser is operating. The choice of different ways to interface with the laser allows the user the ability to choose the smartest...

Widest range of wavelengths The OBIS family includes lasers from the UV (375 nm) to the near IR (785 nm). First, by utilizing Coherent’s proprietary Optically Pumped Semiconductor Laser (OPSL) technology. The unique wavelength scalability of OPSLs allows OBIS to tailor wavelengths to application requirements instead of vice versa. With Coherent’s OPSL technology, the OBIS solutions are able to meet the center range of visible wavelengths. Second, Coherent’s laser diode based solutions cover the edges of the wavelength spectrum. While two different technologies are used within the OBIS solution,...

Applications. OBIS serves a wide area of applications where, for system builders, its smart design enables a new era of tool development. This includes Life Sciences, environmental monitoring, inspection and machine vision applications. In Life Sciences, OBIS is primarily used for fluorescence excitation of dyes and proteins in applications including flow cytometry, microscopy, DNA sequencing or drug discovery. Its wavelength scalability is key to support new assay developments in applications ranging from research to clinical implementations such as cell counting for antiretroviral HIV therapies....

OBIS growth roadmap The concept of plug-and-play simplicity provides value to all OBIS customers. Every OBIS laser is already a ticket into future versions of OBIS. The portfolio of OBIS laser engines will expand in both power and wavelength with the mission to advance applications and meet new demands demonstrating future value for OEM customers.
