new wavelengths of 491nm, 561nm, and 660nm on the same platform. The Cobolt Calypso 491nm is now available with up to 200mW CW output power, the Cobolt Jive 561nm with up to 500mW CW and the Cobolt
Flamenco 660nm with up to 300mW CW output power. The cavity design is manufactured using HTCure technology and delivers high power ultra-low noise performance (<0.1 per cent rms over 20Hz-20MHz and over 10-40°C), a narrow spectral linewidth (<1MHz) as well as offering immunity to optical feedback. With up to 2W CW output power this new platform provides sufficient output power for even the most challenging of today’s cutting-edge applications from super resolution microscopy to flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, Raman spectroscopy, interferometry and particle analysis.

coherent will be highlighting its expertise in a range of fields, including materials processing, scientific research, life science instrumentation, semiconductor or flat panel manufacturing. Well established lasers, known for their high reliability, will be active. For example the Chameleon Vision-S will be demonstrating its high peak power and fully flexible dispersion control for MPE imaging. The market proven Genesis lasers for life science
edmund optics will be highlighting its Techspec Calibration Grade Precision Aspheric Lenses, which are high- NA, off-the-shelf polished aspheric lenses offering the ultimate in performance and precision technology. These lenses offer improved aspheric surface figure, surface quality and centering specification over standard precision aspheric lenses and provide an aspheric surface accuracy of 0.25µm RMS. Uncoated lenses are available in 25mm and 50mm diameters, with Numerical Apertures (NAs) of 0.50 and 0.66, making them ideally suited for integration into R&D as well as
applications will be demonstrated in different wavelengths next to the new OBIS, a family of highly integrated lasers featuring true plug-and-play simplicity. Demonstrations of the HighLight 8000D, an 8kW free space diode laser for large area heat treating and high deposition rate cladding will attract visitors, as well as the new HighLight 1000FL 1kW fibre laser. Completing this kW offering is the most compact laser cutting machine available today, the new Metabeam 1000C, that incorporates the Diamond
E-1000, the only 1kW sealed CO2 laser available.

OEM applications. These high NA lenses are excellent for improving the efficiency of low light level detection systems or for applications requiring a compact optical path, where space is at a premium. Techspec Calibration Grade Precision Aspheric Lenses are individually serialised and are offered with a complete metrology data package. This test data package includes a surface profile performed on a precision Taylor Hobson Talysurf Profilometer, an interferogram of the spherical surface, and tested values for diameter, center thickness and centration.

product family: the EQ-99FC. The EQ-99FC LDLS uses an integrated high performance ellipsoidal collector to deliver ultra-high brightness UV-VIS-NIR light to a standard SMA fibre coupling.
Like all the LDLS products, the EQ-99FC light source can provide ultrahigh brightness from 170nm to 2,100nm. This ability to cover such a broad spectrum makes it an economical and higher performance alternative to using traditional Xenon-arc or Deuterium lamps. What makes the EQ-99FC unique is its integrated high-efficiency collection optic that delivers maximum brightness, while additionally providing greater ease of use. The custom ellipsoidal collector ensures that the light brightness and power stability are maintained across the broad spectrum, and efficiently coupled into small diameter optical fibres. Electrodeless in operation, Energetiq’s laser-driven technology in the EQ-99FC provides ultra- long lamp life – greater than ten times the lifetime of traditional electrode-driven lamps.

Bordeaux-based laser marking specialist es technology will be showing its es Pistol mobile laser marking system, based on the es Code 20W fibre laser. The system is simple and easy to install, offering high marking quality and speed at a competitive price. The system is also portable; the control unit is mounted on wheels, while the system’s laser head is compact and light. The company states that it is now practical to bring the laser marking system to large and cumbersome components, rather than bringing the component to the system.
The es Pistol control unit includes a computer, marking software and an operator interface available through a 10-inch touch screen, allowing the operator to mark texts, codes, logos or other kinds of information very easily. The system is designed so
as to prevent the beam from shining out of the marking space, making this machine a class 1 laser system. The es Code 20W ytterbium fibre laser used in the
