Overview: The Spectra-Physics Cyan™ laser is a compact, high-performance laser designed for bioinstrumentation, inspection, and metrology. It emits a 488 nm wavelength beam with low intensity noise and excellent wavelength stability. The laser is available in output powers ranging from 10 to 100 mW and features a compact design with low power consumption.
Specifications: The Cyan laser operates at a wavelength of 488 nm with a tolerance of ±0.5 nm (or ±0.25 nm on request). It offers output power options from 10 to 100 mW with a power stability of ±1% over 2 hours at ±3°C. The laser has ultra-low noise (<0.2% rms) and a beam diameter of 0.7 ±0.05 mm. It is designed for single-frequency operation, making it suitable for applications like Raman spectroscopy and interferometry.
Reliability and Performance: The laser is built on a telecom-grade diode laser architecture with a proprietary wavelength-locking scheme, ensuring stable single-frequency operation. It has undergone extensive reliability testing, with over 200,000 hours of factory operation and more than 2 million field hours, resulting in reduced downtime and lower service costs.
Applications: The Cyan laser is suitable for various applications, including flow cytometry, cell sorting, DNA sequencing, confocal microscopy, micro-array reading, retinal imaging, hematology, semiconductor inspection, process monitoring, and Raman spectroscopy.
Environmental and Operational Specifications: The laser operates within an ambient temperature range of 4–40°C and can withstand non-operating temperatures from -30 to +70°C. It is compliant with Class 3B laser product regulations and features a built-in interlock interface and mechanical shutter for safe operation.
