CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CVI Melles Griot announces the release of its new 26-CRH series compact laser head and universal controller system. In addition to a 50% reduction in footprint over previous versions, this new laser features: three beam size options to simplify optical system design; a true “off” in modulation; and the new Universal Controller and power supply.

The 26-CRH series provides excellent output power and pointing stability at 408 nm, 442 nm, 642 nm and 658 nm. In addition to the highest standards in optical noise, power stability and pointing stability, the products offer digital modulation with rise / fall times to < 200 nanoseconds; analog modulation is also available for output power adjustment. Custom wavelengths, output power, spot dimensions and electronic drive configurations are available on request. An OEM circuit board version of the Universal Controller is also offered.

The rectangular laser head package, at 3.5 x 1.6 x 1.6 inches (90 x 40 x 40 mm) contains a semiconductor laser, thermal management system, and beam conditioning optics in a robust and reliable package configuration. The turn-key laser controller operates 26-CRH series diode laser heads as well as any 473nm, 488nm, or 561nm solid state laser from CVI Melles Griot.

According to Scott Crawford, Product Manager – Diode Lasers, “This is a unique addition to our product offering. The small footprint, superior performance, and versatility for system integration make the 26 CRH-series lasers ideal for inclusion in OEM systems for biotech, metrology, and research applications.”
