iBeam smart

Single mode diode laser for OEM

Smart Engineering for Maximum Performance - TEM00 operation from 375 nm to 1064 nm customized to your specific (finest) laser requirements. 

The iBeam smart single mode diode lasers were designed with ultra-reliable and high-performance operation in mind. Our OEM customers expect the iBeam smart to be easy to integrate and basically maintenance-free to reduce downtime to the absolute minimum. 15 years of success, more than 10.000 units in the field, millions of hours of operation prove that we must have found a sweet spot.

Highest-grade components and a production process focusing even on the smallest details ensure the long lifetime and best-of-class beam quality that are required for challenging applications. The iBeam smart‘s compact footprint, wide wavelength coverage and superior flexibility make it the perfect fit for semicon inspection, microlithography, confocal microscopy, cytometry and many more.

Your Benefits

Clearer measurements
Boost the quality of your measurements by precise wavelength selection and stability, and reduce noise with the innovative FINE and VIPG Features.
Superior image quality and contrast
Minimize speckle by appliying the SKILL feature, use high powers and clean modulation to enhance the contrast.
High speed data acquisition
Up to 450 mW of optical power and up to 250 MHz modulation enable short exposure times.
Designed for OEM
The laser‘s compactness, low cost of operation, longevity thanks to highest-quality components, and passive cooling make it ideal for system integration.
All colors
Choose from dozens of wavelengths from the UV to the NIR to match your needs for e.g. structure sizes, fluorophores, absorption bands,… All diodes are tested against TOPTICA’s strict quality standards. 
Coherence control
Increase (iWave add-on) or decrease (FINE, VIPG) coherence length to match your requirements
Make it the perfect fit
Free-space or fiber-coupled? Custom electronics settings, beam shapes, and a variety of accessories available

Applications

Confocal Microscopy
Maskless lithography & laser direct writing
Optical scatterometry (OCD)
Ellipsometry
Color centers (NV/Si)
Other microscopy types (TIRF, FLIM, ...)
Broadband spectroscopy

Options

SmartDock
Fiber coupler for iBeam smart with coupling efficiency of typ. > 75%. Compatible with SM/PM fiber with FC/APC connectors and MM fibers with FC/APC or FC/PC connectors. Focusing lens is included.
Pulse Option
Allows for external asynchronous digital modulation with bandwidths up to 250 MHz. Cannot be combined with VIPG feature.
FiberOut
Fiber collimator including collimation lens which can be adjusted for variable focus. Typical beam sizes out of SM-fibers: 0.6 mm - 3.5 mm (1/e², diameter)
Optical Isolator
Prevents potential optical feedback from reaching the laser. Stabilizes output power and spectral behavior of the emission. Available at 405 nm, 633 nm, 660 nm, 685 nm, 785 nm and 850 nm. Please inquire for other wavelengths.
Wavelength Selection
Emission wavelength will be selected to better than ± 1 nm within the standard wavelength range of the laser system PLEASE NOTE: please inquire, to make sure actual center wavelength is available! Increased lead-time is probable.
CleanUp-Filter
Bandpass filter with typical bandwidth 6-10 nm. Available at 405 nm, 488 nm, 640 nm and 785 nm. Please inquire for other wavelengths.
VIPG (Versatile Internal Pulse Generator)
Electronic feature to increase coherence but spectrally broadening the signal. Cannot be combined with Pulse Option.
iWave add-on
Available for iBeam smart 375nm - 515nm. Add-On will reduce linewidth to typ. < 0.1nm. With add-on, the output power will be reduced to appr. 50% of original iBeam smart power specification.
Breakout PCB
Adapter PCB replacing the I/O connector for exposed pins in environments that have very limited space.
Power Supply
Input: 100-240 VAC; Output: 12 VDC at 5 A
Breadboard Adapter
Allows for direct mounting of iBeam smart to an optical breadboard or optical table. Beam height will be 40 mm with this adapter. Compatible with both metric and imperial hole patterns.
Switch Box
CDRH compliant with key switch, external connectors and manual switches for easy access to iBeam smart features.
