Bio-Detection and Analysis

II-VI is dedicated to supply laser component and multi-color laser system for instrumentation market. The multi-color laser engine family is available in various wavelength pairs including 520/638nm, 488/638nm and other customer specific wavelengths. The multi-color laser engine family include single mode, multi-mode and polarization maintained mode with fiber output. The new innovative technology provides a compact and cost effective alternative to aligning two separate laser sources whilst providing long term reliability, low noise and exceptional stability than traditional technologies.

Biomedical

Bioinstrumentation applications, ranging from flow cytometry and cell sorting to microscopy, DNA sequencing and retinal scanning, use lasers to excite fluorescence from a variety of probe molecules. These fluorescent probes help researchers and clinicians perform a variety of important tests at both the cellular and molecular levels. Our key technologies in this segment include DPSS laser, diode laser systems, fiber pigtailed laser system, multi-color laser system and solutions for beam shaping.

Raman Spectroscopy

II-VI’s RLAS-785 is a laser diode assembly that integrates the specification of narrow bandwidth, wide operation-temperature and high power. A unique technology is applied in this type of laser to lock the wanted wavelength, which guarantees not only ultra-narrow bandwidth (<0.1 nm) but also high side-mode-suppression ratio (SMSR) (typically 40 dB). The wide operation-temperature is realized by using a thermal-electric coupler (TEC) to control the temperature of laser diode, making RLAS-785 run well through -20°C to 50°C. Furthermore, these technologies help to achieve high stability (RMS<0.4%) and reliability of power and wavelength in long term, as well as long expected lifetime (MTTF>30000 hours). Products of three configurations, free beam, fiber coupled and module, are all available, promising its wide application in Raman spectroscopy, biomedical equipment and bio-sensor.

II-VI has an outstanding R&D team for DPSS laser, and customer-specified laser requirements are welcomed.

This outstanding feature is specially designed for outdoor applications. Internal photodiode is included to stabilize output power. Compact design and low power consumption are the advantages for OEM customers.

Also, with advanced laser welding technology and optical design, we offer customized beam shaped laser diode module with excellent reliability, wavelength options cover the visible range for aiming and alignment use.

Laser Surveying & Mapping
 

The sensitivity of human eyes to green is 5 times higher than to red. Green laser is best solution for applications in Surveying and Mapping market, especially for outdoor applications, such as excavation work, land surveying, swimming pool construction, alignment, construction stake out and concrete leveling. Previously there were several obstacles which pull back the growth of market share of green laser against red laser: operating temperature range, power consumption and cost.

II-VI has successfully developed our laser source solutions for rotary laser levels, line laser levels and range finder, including miniature green laser module and eye-safe Q-switch laser, both free space and fiber pigtailed. Besides the laser source, we also offer Powell lens, customized products and OEM services are available upon request.
