Description

The DTS0105 RGB Laser Engine and Combiner from OZ Optics is a versatile and robust solution designed for applications requiring the precise combination of multiple visible laser wavelengths. Engineered with adaptability and compactness in mind, this laser engine integrates three to five laser diodes into a single, solid optical assembly. Utilizing OZ Optics’ patented tilt alignment system and a symmetric glass cube design, the device ensures all combined laser beams share identical optical path lengths. This results in balanced spot sizes and minimal beam divergence, which are critical for high-performance imaging and display technologies.

Unlike traditional assemblies that rely on discrete WDM plates, the DTS0105 employs a single optical element to direct and combine the beams. This approach not only enhances mechanical ruggedness but also improves spectral and power stability, making it suitable for demanding environments and long-term operation. The system is capable of efficiently merging up to five visible wavelengths, typically within the 390 nm to 710 nm range, using custom optics and dichroic filters. This flexibility allows users to create full-color outputs, including white light sources, by varying the intensity of red, green, and blue channels.

The DTS0105 is available in configurations supporting singlemode, polarization-maintaining, or multimode fiber delivery, catering to a wide range of optical setups. Its modular design allows each laser diode to be independently changed or upgraded, ensuring future-proofing and easy maintenance. The compact footprint makes it ideal for integration into space-constrained systems, while its high power handling and low insertion/return losses ensure efficient and reliable performance.

This laser engine and combiner is particularly well-suited for advanced applications such as virtual and augmented reality devices, white light displays, confocal and fluorescence microscopy, laser spectroscopy, color holography, imaging systems, and flow cytometry. Its ability to deliver stable, high-quality, multi-wavelength laser light through a single fiber port makes it a key component in the development of next-generation photonic devices and imaging solutions.
