TopMode
Powerful and Coherent Diode Lasers
- Diode laser with best wavelength / coherence stability
- Wavelengths: 405 nm (other wavelengths on request)
- 100 mW single-frequency power @ 405 nm
- Includes active coherence stabilization (CHARM)
- For metrology, interferometry, Raman spectroscopy
TOPTICA’s TopMode lasers operate as easily as a HeNe, but also offer higher power and blue wavelengths. The TopMode series sets records in terms of power, coherence and wavelength stability. The proprietary CoHerence-Advanced Regulation Method (CHARM) provides an active stabilization of the lasers’ coherence and ensures continuous single-frequency operation. TopMode and CHARM means nothing less than reliable 24/7 operation.
