This short video filmed at the Photonics West 2023 meeting features Martin Ruge from Hübner Photonics, who introduces the company’s C-WAVE product family of tunable and lockable laser light sources, which operate from 450 nm in the blue to 3.5 μm in the infrared. Ruge, who is global product manager of the C-WAVE tunable laser series, explains how it emits a continuous wave with a line width of a few hundred kHz and comes with three tuning mechanisms.
Niklas Waasem, application specialist/regional manager, talks about the applications for these tunable C-WAVE lasers, which include everything from spectroscopy to holography and more besides. The wide tuning ranges enables the analysis of nanoparticles, colour centres, single molecules or gases, with the products all designed so that users can set them up themselves.
Finally, Oilver Prochnow, chief executive of VALO Innovations – part of the Hübner Photonics group – discusses their ultrashort femtosecond lasers. They can produce pulses lasting less than 50 fs and up to 2 W output power, which means they can achieve the highest peak power exactly where it’s needed. Applications of these ultrafast lasers include multiphoton imaging, advanced spectroscopy, optogenetics and two-photon polymerization.
