- SKILL – SpeckleKILLer: Reducing speckles by decreasing the longitudinal coherence lengths of emitted light to a minimum
Options:
- Pulse-option (including AUTOPULSE feature)
- Ultra-fast asynchronous digital modulation with up to 250 MHz
- Rise and fall times < 1.5 ns
- ON/OFF extinction (depending on wavelength) typical > 500 : 1
- Multi-level input with adjustable trigger levels
- AUTOPULSE: With the AUTOPULSE feature one can use the internal capabilities of the intelligent iBeam smart electronics. Frequencies up to 20 MHz can be programmed, the duty cycle can be set in the range from 1 to 99 % (depending on the frequency)
- Fiber coupling - SmartDock
Especially designed for the iBeam smart TOPTICA's SmartDock turns the iBeam smart into a rugged fiber coupled diode laser system. Both single-mode and polarization-maintaining fibers can be connected to the SmartDock. Better than 60 % coupling efficiency is guaranteed but efficiencies up to 90 % have been demonstrated due to the high beam quality of the iBeam smart. - Wavelength selection
Whenever a process shows extreme spectral dependence, the iBeam can be ordered with a tighter wavelength tolerance (e.g. 407 ± 1 nm). Thus you can be sure to get the ideal laser emission for your process.
