PhotoSonus M

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about the PhotoSonus M series, a high-energy, mobile, tunable wavelength laser source designed for photoacoustic imaging. It highlights the features, specifications, and performance of the PhotoSonus M and M+ models.

Specifications: The PhotoSonus M series offers a wide wavelength tuning range from 330 to 2300 nm, with pulse energies up to 250 mJ and repetition rates of 10 Hz or 20 Hz. The system integrates a pump laser, optical parametric oscillator (OPO), and power supply unit (PSU) in a single mobile unit, ensuring ease of use and low maintenance costs.

Features: Key features include fast wavelength switching, motorized components, and optional accessories such as an energy meter and attenuator. The system is fully motorized and computer-controlled, with user trigger outputs and inputs.

Performance: The document includes performance graphs showing typical output pulse energy versus wavelength for different models. The PhotoSonus M+ model offers higher pulse energy for deeper imaging.

Applications: The PhotoSonus M series is suitable for imaging larger volumes of tissue, with sample images provided to demonstrate its capabilities in photoacoustic imaging of biological tissues.

Ordering Information: The document outlines the available options and configurations for ordering, including repetition rates, mobile versions, and additional features like idler options and extended OPO signal ranges.

Safety and Operating Requirements: The laser is classified as a Class 4 laser product, requiring caution to avoid exposure to direct or scattered radiation. Operating conditions include a room temperature of 18-27°C and relative humidity of 20-80%.
