iChrome MLE
Powerful 4-line laser combiner
Make no compromises on laser power to push the limits of super resolution and spinning disk microscopy
iChrome MLE Powerful 4-line laser combiner
The iChrome MLE combines up to 3 different diode lasers and one DPSS laser fully integrated in one compact housing. The individual lasers are efficiently coupled and delivered via an all-in-one PM/SM fiber output. The microprocessor controlled system enables flexible OEM integration. High speed analog and digital modulation allow fast switching of laser wavelength and intensity. The unified user interface enables easy and efficient integration into any application.
TOPTICA’s ingenious COOLAC technology automatically aligns the system with a single push of a button. This feature ensures a constant optical output level even under strongly varying ambient conditions and completely eliminates the need for manual realignment - making the iChrome MLE the most advanced multi-line laser system on the market.

Your Benefits
Reliable and long term stable
The iChrome single-mode fiber coupled laser combiner comes with COOLAC automatic alignment technology. You will never again waste valuable time for manual laser re-alignment.
Fast modulation capabilities
iChrome MLE laser systems can modulate up to 20 MHz for all lines (including the DPSS laser line) to serve even the most demanding applications.
Unified control interface
The iChrome laser combiners are easy to integrate. They can be controlled by a simple unified, programmable interface, also accepting standard TTL and analog signals.
Options
Custom laser lines
Select up to 4 laser lines chosing from a variety of wavelengths. See specifications for details.
Additional laser line
Adds a fifth laser line via an external iBeam smart with separate fiber output. Connected via RS-232 interface and conveniently controlled via the iChrome's TOPAS graphical user interface.
Higher power
If you need more power for your application, please refer to our product variant iChrome MLE-HP. See specifications for details.
FiberOut collimator
FiberOut for collimated free-beam delivery. Rugged solution with low handling effort.
Custom fiber connector
Select your connector type for the output fiber. FC/AFC (8° angled) as standard, FC/PC, FCP8 and others on request.
Passive cooling kit
Fanless cooling solution for lab environment up to 25°C. No vibration and acoustic noise while reducing dust circulation by dissipating heat through passive convection. Ideal for vibration or noise sensitive applications.
Active cooling kit
Active cooling solution for warm laboratory environments (up to 32 °C). Enables reliable operation under high ambient temperatures.
Process shutter (global or DPSS)
Shuttering of either all laser wavelengths (global) or the DPSS laser wavelength only. Operation via software or hardware (TTL) signals, with hardware signals taking priority. The shutter is normally closed.
