Features
Illumination modules providing extremely compact and reliable sources of laser and LED light with minimal heat generation and maximum resistance to mechanical shock and vibration.
Our standard Diode Laser Systems provide excellent output power and pointing stability from an ultra-compact laser head. This is achieved through state-of-the art thermal management, which improves performance and reliability in harsh environments. Best in class beam pointing stability and modulation.
Custom Diode Laser and LED Systems for OEM applications can be configured for direct analog and/or digital modulation, eliminating the cost, complexity, and alignment challenges associated with external modulators.
We also specialize in custom-tailored beam profiles that deliver the precise spot you need at the point of work, dramatically reducing system complexity and cost — and significantly improving system performance.

LED-laser combiner dimensions: 103mm x 26mm.
Module Performance
While each module design is unique to the customer, >80% efficiency can be expected for all integrated light sources. Spatial variation of the customized illumination beam is typically <10% when input into the instrument’s optical system, regardless of the input beam profiles.

Module Design
Each module is designed as a drop-in illumination subassembly for an OEM customer’s instrument, including sources, drive and monitoring electronics, thermal management, and power for multiple diode lasers and/or LEDs. The exact number and choice of wavelengths can be customized to the needs of each application, depending on the fluorophore(s) being used and the excitation intensity desired at each wavelength.
