How to Choose a Laser Source

One stable wavelength, compact and cost-effective

Choose a CW laser module. The Lambda Beam reaches 1 W with modulation up to 1.5 MHz, and the Lambda Mini is a complete USB-powered laser for space-limited designs.

The narrowest linewidth and longest coherence

Choose a single-frequency DPSS laser. Skylark NX lasers offer linewidths below 0.5 MHz and coherence lengths above 100 m for Raman spectroscopy, Brillouin scattering, holography and quantum technologies, including UV wavelengths at 320 and 349 nm.

Broadband or tunable light

Choose a supercontinuum laser for coverage from about 450 to 2300 nm, and add a BOREAL tunable filter to select any band from 400 to 1000 nm. Read Broadband Tunable Lasers: Combining Supercontinuum Lasers with Tunable Filters to learn how the combination works.

Flow measurement

Choose a PIV laser to illuminate seeding particles for particle image velocimetry, alongside Axiom Optics PIV systems.

Characterize Your Laser

Confirm beam size, shape and quality with a laser beam diagnostics solution, from entry-level beam profilers to M² measurement systems. For green laser applications, see Applications of CW 532 nm Lasers.

Laser Sources FAQ

Which laser sources does Axiom Optics offer?

Axiom Optics offers compact CW laser modules from 375 to 1550 nm, single-frequency CW DPSS lasers from Skylark Lasers, broadband supercontinuum lasers from FYLA, BOREAL tunable filters and fiber coupling modules for supercontinuum sources, and pulsed lasers for particle image velocimetry.

What is the difference between a CW diode laser and a single-frequency DPSS laser?

A CW diode laser module provides a stable, continuous beam at a chosen wavelength in a compact, cost-effective package. A single-frequency DPSS laser such as the Skylark NX series emits one longitudinal mode with a linewidth below 0.5 MHz and coherence length above 100 m, which suits Raman spectroscopy, holography, interferometry and quantum experiments.

When should I choose a supercontinuum laser?

Choose a supercontinuum laser when you need broadband light with laser-like brightness and beam quality, for example to excite many fluorophores, characterize optical components across a wide band, or run hyperspectral imaging. FYLA Iceblink and Horizon lasers cover about 450 to 2300 nm.

Can a supercontinuum laser be used as a tunable laser?

Yes. Adding a BOREAL tunable filter selects a band between 400 and 1000 nm with a bandwidth from 10 to 600 nm and 1 nm resolution, turning the supercontinuum into a broadly tunable source controlled over USB.

Which laser is best for Raman spectroscopy?

Raman spectroscopy needs a narrow, stable line. Options include the Lambda Beam Wavelock diode lasers, the narrow line Lambda Beam 532 nm DPSS, and Skylark single-frequency DPSS lasers, which also suit UV Raman at 320 and 349 nm.

Can Axiom Optics help me choose a laser source?

Yes. Share your wavelength, power, linewidth and beam delivery requirements, and Axiom Optics will recommend the laser source, accessories and beam diagnostics for your application.
