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 applying 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.
Seamless integration
Its compact, industry-standard footprint and passive cooling enable effortless integration into space-constrained systems. Delivering high performance without compromising valuable installation space. 
Low cost of ownership
Proven components and durable engineering deliver exceptional longevity and reliability, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs.
Custom design
Free-space or fiber-coupled? Custom electronics settings, beam shapes, and a variety of accessories available. 
Coherence control
Increase (iWave add-on) or decrease (FINE, VIPG) coherence length to match your requirements
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. 

Applications

Semicon inspection & metrology
Direct writing lithography
Cell imaging with confocal fluorescence microscopy. Human cervical cancer cells from the HeLa line. Source: Human Protein Atlas
Confocal Microscopy
Optical scatterometry (OCD)
Ellipsometry
Lithography & microfabrication
Color centers (NV/Si)
Other microscopy types (TIRF, FLIM, ...)

Options

Fiber delivery
Fiber delivery is optionally available with TOPTICA's fiber coupler SmartDock.
Digital modulation
The pulse option allows for external asynchronous digital modulation with bandwidths up to 250 MHz. Cannot be combined with VIPG feature.
FiberOut collimator
FiberOut for collimated free-beam delivery. Rugged solution with low handling effort.
Optical isolation
Prevents potential optical feedback from reaching the laser. Stabilizes output power and spectral behavior of the emission.
Wavelength selection
Emission wavelength will be selected to better than ± 1 nm within the standard wavelength range.
Cleanup filter
Bandpass filter with typical bandwidth of 6 to 10 nm.
Versatile internal pulse generator (VIPG)
Electronic feature to increase coherence but spectrally broadening the signal. Cannot be combined with digital modulation option.
iWave
Add-on to narrow down the linewidth to typ. < 0.1 nm. The output power will be reduced to approx. 50%.
Breakout PCB
Adapter PCB replacing the I/O connector for exposed pins in environments that have very limited space.
External power supply
For direct connection to 100 to 240 VAC mains.
Breadboard adapter
Allows for direct mounting of iBeam smart to an optical breadboard or optical table.
Switch box
CDRH compliant with key switch, external connectors and manual switches for easy access to iBeam smart features.
