The Cyclops laser combiners have about six laser lines out of which two can be utilized as free ports. The free ports can be used to integrate the solid-state lasers into the laser combiner systems for wavelengths into the yellow/green region. The laser combiners are coupled to complement the GaAs and GaN laser diodes in the red and blue regions, respectively.
Cyclops Laser Combiner
The Cyclops laser combiners weigh 3500 g and measure 262×200×55 mm. The systems feature SMB fast modulation inputs and a USB interface. The operating temperature of the combiners range from 15 to 25 °C and the maximum power consumption is 15 W. The systems can be operated on 110/230 V power supply.
The laser combiners are available in various power levels and wavelengths such as 405, 808, 785, 660, and 640 nm at 100 mW; 488 nm at 50 nm; 473 nm and 375 nm at 15 mW; and 445 nm at 40 mW.
The polarization of the laser combiners is greater than 1:100. The beam angle is ±0.5 mm, while the beam position is ±0.1 mm; the beam ellipticity is less than 5% and the rise and fall times are less than 2 ns. The laser combiners are compact, cost-effective and can be easily integrated.
The systems are utilized for sample excitation in color holography, laser spectroscopy, white-light displays, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and fluorescence microscopy.
