MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — (Marketwire) — 01/31/13 — , an innovative producer of (IR, UV and visible wavelengths), has updated its “Rainbow” laser source. Developed for use in , the Rainbow system is a prototype fiber-based source of user-switchable, visible-wavelength laser pulses. Among the new enhancements, the system features a significantly smaller laser head.
“Our newest Rainbow laser iteration still features the high-energy pulses of user-selectable, visible-wavelength output that researchers can use to deplete dye fluorescence in super-resolution microscopy experiments,” said Dr. Gregory Keaton, Mobius Photonics chief scientist. “But it has additional advantages over the prior version. Among these is a considerably more compact laser head to save valuable lab space. And for added flexibility, the new Rainbow can be externally triggered.”
Mobius- new Rainbow prototype can produce output at nine discrete wavelengths between 532 nm and 654 nm. Individual wavelengths can be switched on-the-fly, allowing users to tailor output to the fluorescent marker in a particular application. Rainbow produces approximately 1-ns pulses at repetition rates up to 20 MHz. The system is externally triggerable, allowing synchronization to another laser source near 20 MHz. Typical minimum pulse energy is 5 nJ per pulse, but varies depending on the wavelength. Rainbow-s compact laser head measures just 285 mm x 150 mm x 100 mm and weighs less than 5 kg.
Mobius plans to display its latest Rainbow laser prototype at its Photonics West 2013 exhibition booth, #130. The Photonics West exhibition is scheduled for February 5-7, 2013, at Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
