announces the release of a modulated dual-line light engine optimised
for high-end Optogenetics research applications.
Press Release
2011-11-08
This version of the Cobolt Dual Combiner offers two attractive emission wavelengths
for light-activated proteins; 473nm (up to 50mW) + 594 nm (up to 100mW) from one small box.
Cobolt, Swedish manufacturer of high performance DPSS lasers, announces the release of a modulated dualline
light engine optimised for high-end Optogenetics research applications. This version of the Cobolt Dual
Combiner offers two attractive emission wavelengths for light-activated proteins; 473nm (up to 50mW) + 594
nm (up to 100mW) from one small box. Through the integrating of a silent SRS shutter, the output beam can
be modulated at up to 100 Hz with a very short rise time of <350 μs, with maintained 3% power stability and a
completely dark state in OFF mode.
The modulated Cobolt Dual Combiner™ is perfectly suited for Optogenetics applications where high level of
power stability and control of the delivered energies are required. The use of Cobolt’s unique HTCure
Technology for laser manufacturing provides a very high level of robustness and insensitivity to ambient
conditions, which ensures excellent beam overlap and beam pointing stability. The modulated Dual Combiner
is also available with any other 2-line combination of the Cobolt 04-01 series lasers.
The modulated Cobolt Dual Combiner™ for Optogenetics will be displayed at Neuroscience 2011, booth
#1102, in Washington DC.
Cobolt supplies compact and efficient diode-pumped solid-state lasers in the visible and near IR regions, for stand-alone
use or OEM integration in equipment for bio-analysis, imaging, range finding and displays. Cobolt lasers are built on
proprietary PPKTP technology and combine top-class wall-plug efficiency with low noise and compact size.
