TOPTICA PHOTONICS AG - High-end laser systems for your scientific or industrial application

The iBeam smart is the ultimate choice when looking for a high-performance, ultra-reliable OEM diode laser system. Record values at output power, combined with excellent power and beam pointing stability are setting the standard in the class of compact diode lasers. Its flexible, µ-processor based electronics will make system integration a snap. Features as FINE, SKILL and AUTOPULSE are capable to solve common problems of your application in Confocal microscopy, Disc mastering, Flow cytometry, Laser scanning cytometry, Microlithography, Metrology, Ellipsometry, Reprographics or CtP printing.

The iBeam smart PT with permanent fiber attachment is - like its successful “brother” iBeam smart - the ultimate choice when looking for a high-performance, ultra-reliable OEM diode laser system. The fiber coupled diode laser comes with TOPTICA’s ingenious COOLDC technology to provide a constant optical output level even under strongly varying ambient conditions and ensures true drop-shipment capabilities. This technology completely eliminates the need for manual realignment. Its flexible, µ-processor based electronics will make system integration of the iBeam smart PT a snap. Features as FINE, SKILL and AUTOPULSE are capable to solve common problems of your application like Confocal microscopy, Flow cytometry, Disc mastering, Inspection, Metrology, Microlithography, Microplate readout, Prepress, computer-to-plate, Retina scanning or Food sorting.

The iBeam smart WS is the ultimate choice when looking for a compact and narrow linewidth OEM diode laser system. It is the wavelength stabilized version of the iBeam smart featuring reliable wavelength-stabilized diodes. Combined with iBeam smart’s flexible, mircoprocessor based electronics it makes system integration a snap.

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.

The Holo-Litho 405 is the ideal replacement for the vintage, power hungry Kr+ gas lasers (406.7 nm and 413.1 nm) commonly used in holographic and lithographic applications. While gas lasers require several kilowatts of electrical power and cumbersome water cooling, the “all‑semiconductor” Holo-Litho 405 draws < 0.08 kW and needs no water cooling to produce similar optical output power. This alone results in a significant reduction in cost of ownership. Furthermore the user also benefits from longer service intervals and lower refurbishment costs. Trained personnel can easily perform on-site replacements of the individual semiconductor field replaceable units, reducing down-time and increasing profitability.

The TopWave 266 sets new standards with respect to low-noise operation. The narrow linewidth laser emission typically shows < 0.1% RMS, hence the user benefits from an improved signal-to-noise ratio during measurements. Designed for easy integration the TopWave 266 is a turnkey system which the user can control either via a touch panel at the control unit or using the USB/Ethernet interface in combination with a PC GUI. Due to its high wall-plug efficiency the system can be operated with conduction cooling only. In case no proper heatsinking is possible, a closed loop chiller option is available. The TopWave 266 is ideal for sophisticated measurement and production tasks in e.g. semicon inspection, lithography or Raman spectroscopy. It is a cost-effective and reliable laser that enables the user to concentrate on their application rather than worrying about the light source.

The XTRA II provides three top features from one single unit: Gaussian beam profile, single-frequency operation and high output power. Incoherent ASE is suppressed by more than 40 dB, turning the XTRA II into the ideal choice for demanding Raman applications depending on a high signal-to-noise ratio. The integration of a high quality optical isolator as a standard feature ensures long term rock solid performance of the XTRA II.

TOPTICA's high-power single-frequency diode lasers are ideal coherent laser sources for a multitude of demanding applications, including lithography, optics test &amp; inspection and holography. These lasers pave the way to manufacture high-quality optics for Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) or Mixed Reality (MR). For example, ultra-precise optical gratings are easily produced with these laser systems to fabricate hologram projections or holographic safety features.

The CTL is the ultimate choice when looking for a laser that is widely and continuously tunable without any mode-hops. It has high power, a narrow linewidth and low drift. Scans can be performed with highest resolution. Mode-hops are prevented by an innovative opto-mechanical design (patent US9960569B2) together with an active feedback loop called SMILE (Single Mode Intelligent Loop Engine) that keeps the laser on the same mode at all times. With the fully digital, low noise and drift DLC pro controller, the CTL laser is easy to use and operate via touch-screen and knobs as well as via remote PC GUI and command language (Python SDK). With firmware 2.0.3 (free updates available), DLC CTL now includes a test system for characterizing components or recording spectra.

Our DL pro is the ultimate tunable diode laser. Its revolutionary mechanical design allows for both easy operation and extreme stability at the same time. It offers highest output powers, and optimized mode-hop-free tuning with a perfectly positioned virtual pivot point for the grating movement (Patents: DE 10 2007 028 499 and US 7970024). Together with the digital control DLC pro controller it shows unrivalled linewidth and drift – with the most comfortable and intuitive user interface. Also available with the economic SYST laser electronics. A software license may be purchased to enable frequency-locking features.
