Cobolt AB announces the release of a higher power model of its unique 515 nm solid-state laser. The Cobolt Fandango, now available with up to 150 mW CW output power from the same small package, is not only perfectly suited for power demanding fluorescence analysis applications such as confocal microscopy, high-speed plate reading and single molecule analysis; now, with even higher output power, it can be also seen as a general all solid state alternative to bulky Ar+ gas lasers.

The Cobolt Fandango™ is a continuous-wave solid-state laser operating at a fixed wavelength 515 nm and
with output powers of 25 mW, 50 mW, 100 mW and now 150 mW. It is a single longitudinal mode laser, with very low noise (<0.25 % rms), narrow spectral line width (typically <30 MHz) and exceptionally high beam quality (M2<1.1).

The laser is manufactured using Cobolt’s proprietary HTCureTM Technology in a compact (50x50 mm) and
hermetically sealed package, which provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions and exceptional reliability. Lasers built using the HTCureTM Technology have shown to withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks in operation without any sign of degraded performance. They can be exposed to extreme temperatures (>100C), and are insensitive to pressure and humidity.

The laser controller is an ultra-compact unit in either a CDRH version or OEM version. It is built on a robust
platform with mounting holes for convenient installation and optimum heat dissipation. It is remotely
controllable for operation and monitoring of the laser system via digital (RS-232) or analog interfaces.
