Description
The MonoLux Tunable Quantum Cascade Laser System is a state-of-the-art laser solution designed for precision and versatility. This advanced system features a wavelength tunable external grating cavity quantum cascade laser, enabling precise wavelength coverage of ±5% around the center wavelength, with broader tuning ranges available as an option. The laser head, which houses both the QCL and collimating optics, is meticulously sealed to ensure reliable performance in diverse environmental conditions. Delivered as a complete package, the MonoLux system is ready to operate with a laptop-based interface, providing a seamless user experience from installation to operation.
Engineered for efficiency, the MonoLux operates in a quasi-continuous wave (QCW) mode, producing 200-500 ns pulses at a repetition rate of approximately 500 kHz to 2 MHz, resulting in a duty cycle of about 50%. This mode allows the system to achieve an impressive average power output exceeding 500 mW at the center of its tuning curve, depending on the chosen center wavelength. For applications requiring continuous wave (CW) operation, the system can be configured to run at a 100% duty cycle. The MonoLux's passive cooling system eliminates the need for fans, ensuring quiet and unobtrusive operation.
With its compact design, the MonoLux is both lightweight and portable, making it suitable for a variety of settings. The laser head measures 12 cm in width, 4.5 cm in height, and 13 cm in depth, and weighs less than 0.5 kg. The system connects easily to a computer via USB, supporting Windows XP or later versions, and requires a USB 2.0 port for optimal performance. Overall, the MonoLux Tunable Quantum Cascade Laser System offers a powerful and adaptable solution for precise laser applications, backed by cutting-edge technology and user-friendly operation.
