The Becker & Hickl Laser-Hub integrates up to 4 BDS-SM Series Picosecond Diode Lasers in one unit with one single-mode output fiber. Choose from any of the available wavelengths in the BDS series from 405 nm to 640 nm (Others on Request).
The Becker & Hickl Laser-Hub integrates up to 4 BDS-SM Series Picosecond Diode Lasers in one unit with one single-mode output fiber. Choose from any of the available wavelengths in the BDS series from 405 nm to 640 nm (Others on Request).
With the Laser-Hub you remove the need to align individual laser sources either onto an optical bench or within an instrument. By offering a single output with co-linear laser beams, the Becker & Hickl Laser-Hub makes it simple and convenient to deliver up to 4 laser lines simultaneously.
Measuring only 450 mm × 300 mm × 80 mm, the Laser-Hub is a compact, portable laser solution ideally suited to applications such as Fluorescence-lifetime spectroscopy, Fluorescence-lifetime microscopy and Near-infrared tissue spectroscopy.
The lasers can be operated manually or via any of the Becker & Hickl SPC cards. As with stand alone operation fo the BDS lasers, the lasers integrated into the Laser-Hub operated in pulsed mode and CW and with pulse repetition rates of 20, 50, and 80 MHz rep. Power in pulsed mode is up to 3 mW, power in CW mode is up to 20 mW, pulse width down to 38 ps.
The unit can be used with sync input or sync output. Fast ON/OFF and multiplexing capability comes as standard.
