iBeam smart PT - Pigtailed Diode Laser
- Permanently fiber coupled diode laser (“pigtailing”) / permanent fiber attachment
- COOLDC technology for a constant optical output level
- Standard wavelengths: 405 nm, 445 nm, 488 nm, 640 nm, 660 nm
and 785 nm - Most powerful diode laser in its class
- Excellent power stability (drift < 2% over 24h @ room temperature ± 5°C)
- cw and pulsed operation up to 250 MHz (ns rise/fall time)
- Analog and digital modulation
- FINE: Eliminating noise caused by optical feedback
- SKILL: Reducing speckle noise in your application
- AUTOPULSE: Generates pulses directly within your laser using simple software commands
The iBeam smart PT with permanent fiber attachment is - like its successful “brother” iBeam smart - the ultimate choice when looking for a high-performance, ultra-reliable OEM diode laser system. The fiber coupled diode laser comes with TOPTICA’s ingenious COOLDC technology to provide a constant optical output level even under strongly varying ambient conditions and ensures true drop-shipment capabilities. This technology completely eliminates the need for manual realignment. Its flexible, µ-processor based electronics will make system integration of the iBeam smart PT a snap. Features as FINE, SKILL and AUTOPULSE are capable to solve common problems of your application.

Standard Features:
- COOLDC stands for a dura calibrated Constant Optical Output Level. The technology ensures a constant power without adjustments and drop-shipment capabilities as it is perfectly aligned during assembly and stays that way.
- FINE - Feedback Induced Noise Eraser - Immunization to optical feedback, ideal for fiber coupling and reflective surfaces
- SKILL – SpeckleKILLer: Reducing speckles by decreasing the longitudinal coherence lengths of emitted light to a minimum
- TopControl: Adjust all laser parameters by easy to use graphical user interface (GUI)
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 > 1000 : 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)
- Wavelength selection
Whenever a process shows extreme spectral dependence, the iBeam smart PT 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.
