The compact laser head incorporates one of Coherent’s unique Optica...

Coherent, Inc has expanded their family of industrial ultrafast lasers with the Talisker 500, which delivers over 10 Watts of ultraviolet output at 355 nm, 15 Watts of green output at 532 nm or 25 Watts of infrared output at 1064 nm. This next generation Talisker laser also increases repetition rate to 500 kHz enabling even higher throughput rates than earlier models. The combination of short (10 ps) pulse duration and flexible wavelength optio...

Coherent Inc has introduced a new, higher power Paladin laser designed for high-throughput Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) and other advanced microelectronics applications.

The Paladin family of lasers have an enviable reputation for superior reliability and performance and this new model continues that tr...

Coherent Inc has expanded its OBIS family of plug-and-play smart laser modules with a new fiber-pigtailed (FP) option at several wavelengths (e.g. 405 nm, 488 nm, 640 nm). Specifically, these OBIS FP lasers are offered with 1 meter of single-mode, polarization preserving fiber, terminating in a standard FC/APC connector, thus simplifying their integration into OEM instruments. In addition to the inherent ease of use advantages of this compact, ...

A new series of Sapphire lasers from Coherent,Inc offer orange output which is particularly well matched for exciting a number of fluorescent dyes used in bioimaging. Specifically, the new Sapphire models deliver 20 mW, 50 mW, 75 mW or 100 mW at 588 nm. And, because they utilize Coherent’s unique optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) technology, these new Sapphire 588 LP lasers offer superior performance and reliability characteristics ...

Coherent, Inc has expanded the company’s family of Legend ultrafast amplifiers with the launch of the Legend Duo HE+ which delivers over 12 mJ/pulse at 1 kHz repetition rate – by far the highest energy per pulse of any thermoelectrically cooled commercial ultrafast amplifier at this repetition rate. Avoiding the use of cryogenic cooling simplifies operation and maintenance, resulting in lower cost of ownership and higher uptime. In addition...

Two new Verdi G lasers from Coherent Inc are the first of this product family to offer single longitudinal mode (SLM) output. Specifically, the new Verdi G SLM-Series deliver a linewidth of < 5 MHz, which corresponds to a coherence length of tens of meters. They are offered with a choice of 2 and 5 Watts of output power at 532 nm, with SLM output expected at other wavelengths soon.

Coherent Inc has added two new wavelengths - 514 nm and 552 nm - to their OBIS family of plug-and-play smart laser modules. The OBIS 514 LS and the OBIS 552 LS are now available with output powers of 20 milliwatts, and offer an optimum combination of superior beam quality (diffraction limited TEM00 beam, divergence < 1.2 mrad, pointing stability < 30µrad/ ± 30C), power stability (< 2% over 8 hours ± 30C) and low noise (rms ≤ 0.25% at 20...

Coherent Inc. showcased it’s new kilowatt class portfolio of laser sources at the Fabtech 2011 trade show held this week in Chicago, IL. The company updated its three-pronged kilowatt class strategy addressing the high power materials processing market, which includes cutting, welding, cladding and heat treating applications.
