Skylark 785: Single-Frequency CW DPSS NIR Laser
The Skylark 785 is a single-frequency CW DPSS NIR laser that delivers ultra-stable, narrow-linewidth output with low noise and a pure TEM₀₀ beam. It provides up to 400 mW of power at a wavelength of 785 nm. Engineered for consistent, long-term reliability, this laser ensures reproducible results for a variety of advanced Raman techniques and other demanding applications.
Key Features
- Ultra-Narrow Linewidth: A spectral bandwidth of ≤ 300 kHz provides exceptional spectral purity, which is critical for achieving high-resolution, high-contrast Raman spectra.
- Ultra-Stable Power Output: The laser maintains power stability of ≤ 2.0% over an 8-hour operation period. This guarantees reliable and consistent results for long-running processes.
- Ultra-Low Power Noise: With an output power noise of ≤ 0.3% RMS (10 Hz – 10 MHz), the Skylark 785 minimizes signal distortion, ensuring high-clarity measurements in noise-sensitive applications.
- Ultra-Low ASE Noise: The laser’s ultra-low ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) noise of < -80 dB ensures a clean spectral profile, which is essential for high signal-to-noise ratio in applications like Raman spectroscopy.
