New All Solid State UV Lasers Offer True CW Output for Bio Applications

摘要

The new Genesis™ 355 lasers from Coherent Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nas-daq: COHR) are the first all solid State lasers to provide true CW output in the ultraviolet (355 nm). Based on the optically pumped semiconductor la-ser (OPSL) technology, Genesis 355 products are available with output powers of 40, 60, 80 and 100 m W. As with other OPSLs, Genesis lasers fea-ture excellent beam quality (M_2<1.2) and low noise (<0.5 % rms). They have already proven their supe-rior performance and reliability in extensive beta testing in target bio-instrumentation UV applications, such as flow cytometry and confocal micro-scopy.
