Options
Standard Features:
- FINE – Feedback Induced Noise Eraser:
Purely electronic feature, making the iBeam smart insensitive to optical feedback (no isolator, noise eater etc.) - SKILL – SpeckleKILLer:
Reducing speckles by decreasing the longitudinal coherence lengths of emitted light to a minimum
Optional:- Pulse-option (including AUTOPULSE feature):
- Ultra-fast asynchronous digital modulation with up to 250 MHz
- Rise and fall times < 1.5 ns
- ON/OFF extinction (depending on wavelength) typical > 1000 : 1
- Multi-level input with adjustable trigger levels
- AUTOPULSE: With the AUTOPULSE feature one can use the internal capabilities of the intelligent iBeam smart electronics. Frequencies up to 10 MHz can be programmed, the duty cycle can be set in the range from 1 to 99 % (depending on the frequency)
- Wavelength selection: Whenever a process shows extreme spectral dependence, the iBeam can be ordered with a tighter wavelength tolerance (e.g. 407 ± 1 nm). Thus you can be sure to get the ideal laser emission for your process.
