MixxWave Laser Combiners

L4Cc and L6Cc flexible by design. Oxxius combiner have been designed with a specific stress on versatility. They are designed to integrate the largest choice of wavelengths and powers from Oxxius’s LaserBoxx models, or third-party laser sources. The platform features up to two independent channels and can provide up to two output ports. The combiner is ready for docking with Oxxius’s pre-aligned extension modules. These extension modules are an unrivalled solution to seamlessly add new functionalities to Oxxius combiners and provide the ultimate level of flexibility by integrating fast switching output ports for FRAP, adjustable split power for light sheet microscopy among other advanced functionalities.

With free space output or fiber delivery, these laser banks are ideally suited to applications in bio-imaging where combinations of wavelengths may be required for multi-wavelength interrogation, eg confocal microscopy, super resolution imaging, single molecule localisation, STORM, optogenetics, light sheet microscopy, FRAP and flow cytometry.

Main Features:

• Large choice of wavelengths 375nm–1064nm
• Up to 4 or 6 combined wavelength
• Up to 4 output ports (with extension module)
• Fast AOM available delivering linearised outpu
• High efficiency PM fiber
• EOM shutter on each output and each DPSS laser
• A large choice of connectors and collimators is available to interface with most microscope ports

With the extension modules (MDL), the L4Cc and L6Cc can be offered with advanced functionalities at a reasonable cost. The electronic board embeds in standard the electrical connections and controls for the extension modules. The Modules are also pre-aligned and can be added on site. Up to two Modules can be stacked to expand furthermore the possibilities.

The following extension modules are available:

MDL-MDUAL – Designed for light sheet microscopy.
It provides two outputs with the possibility to balance the output power between
each port. The split ratio accuracy is +/-5%.

MDL-FSTM – Provides fast switching between two outputs up to 30Hz
(< 5 ms switching time)

MDL-FST3 – Provides fast switching between three outputs up to 30Hz
(< 5 ms switching time) – only available with L6Cc
MDL-FLPM – Recommended when only one L4Cc or L6Cc is used with two microscopes. This will economically route all lines on the selected output. This is not meant for frequent switching.

MDL-L+1 – Provides one additional LBX laser, combined on the main channel or fully independent with its own output port.

MDL-MNDF – Provides a motorized neutral density filter when low output power is needed

MDL-AOTF – AOTF modulator – one output
