Power Technology unveiled its highest power violet laser module to date. The new temperature controlled Instrument Quality (IQ) module emits 50mW of violet output at 405 ± 10nm.

This development in laser diode technology represents a significant increase in power over the company’s popular 20 and 25mW versions. Potential applications range from flow cytometry to high-resolution printing to biodetection. In fact, this proven technology will serve any number of power-hungry OEM applications, particularly those requiring exceptional stability. The unit boasts a PID temperature controller and precision current source that work to ensure stable wavelength and output.

The new 50mW violet IQ measures a compact 1.50 inches in diameter and 6.20 inches in length. The unit features an adjustable focus, quality glass optics, and optional beam expanding optics and is available with a circularized beam or with standard elliptical output. In addition, it is available with CW or modulated output.
