Cobolt Jive™ 561nm: Now available with 300mW on the 05-01 Series platform

March 22, 2011 — Cobolt AB, Swedish manufacturer of high performance DPSS lasers, announces the release of a new wavelength on the ground breaking single-frequency 05-01 platform released in 2009. The new higher power series of the Cobolt Jive™ operates at 561 nm with up to 300mW CW output power and is perfectly suited to demanding applications such as advanced flow cytometry and super-resolution microscopy.

The Cobolt Jive™ 05-01 is a continuous-wave single-frequency DPSS laser operating at 561 nm in a perfect quality TEM00 beam (M2<1.1). It is available with up to 300 mW output power on the single-frequency 05-01 Series platform. A new proprietary cavity design provides ultra-low noise performance of typically <0.1% rms (over 20 Hz-20MHz and over 10-40°C) and a narrow spectral linewidth of <1MHz as well as being immune to optical feedback. Lower powers (25 mW-150 mW) are available on the 04-01 Series platform. The laser is manufactured using Cobolt’s proprietary HTCure™ Technology in a compact and hermetically sealed package, which provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions and exceptional reliability. Lasers built using the HTCure™ Technology have shown to withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks in operation without any sign of degraded performance. They can be exposed to extreme temperatures (>100°C), and are insensitive to pressure and humidity.

The laser is supplied with a compact controller (CDRH or OEM) which can be remotely accessed for operation and monitoring of the laser system over digital (RS-232) or analog interfaces. Available on the same platform is also the Cobolt Zouk™ with 10 mW CW at 355 nm, the Cobolt Samba™ with up to 1000 mW CW at 532 nm and the Cobolt Rumba™ with up to 2000 mW CW at 1064 nm.
