Compact laser diode module-iFLEX-Q3
The iFLEX-Q3™ is a compact laser diode module with a small form laser head and remote electronics module. The laser is mode-hop free and wavelength stabilized as a direct result of active temperature control. A closed loop control provides long term power stability and an ability to monitor the power via an external output signal.
The diode laser system is guaranteed for long lifetime and delivers exceptional power stability with low amplitude noise. All models feature an interlock and output diagnostics for laser current and temperature as standard.
All lasers feature diffraction limited collimated output beams with elliptical profiles as standard. Customized options for circular beam profiles are available. A feature of this laser is low dynamic pointing error and precise static beam alignment tolerances.
The iFLEX-Q3 is compatible with a number of commercially available imaging software packages such as Olympus cell^R™, MetaMorph® and μManager and a number of add-on interfaces ensure a complete solution for all microscope systems.
The laser has been designed for integrated measurement applications where a small optical head is required to deliver an exceptionally stable and precise laser beam. The highly polarized nature of the beam makes the laser ideal for scatter and reflection based measurement such as ellipsometry. All models deliver exceptional brightness and reliability for optical media inspection applications.
