Laser World of Photonics next week – Automated Alignment, Optical Tweezers, Flexure Stages and more

E1100_1001Messe München will be hosting next week’s Laser World of Photonics exhibition and conference from June 26th for 4 days, and Elliot Scientific will be on Stand 232 in Hall B3.

We will be showing our new DAli 3 Device Automatic Alignment Systems with USB interface, demonstrating live particle trapping using our popular Optical Tweezers system, and giving visitors the opportunity to experience first-hand the quality and precision of our Elliot|Martock range.Laser Tweezer System for Optical Trapping So come and see XYZ Flexure Stages, smooth miniature positioning slides, and more!

Our extensive portfolio of precision opto-mechanical components, custom design solutions, and a myriad other products that we distribute in the UK and Ireland can also be discussed with our knowledgeable and friendly team.

Micro Laser Systems further expand range with Fixed Wavelength and Fused Silica collimators

The Micro Laser Systems‘ FC Series of standard collimators are designed specifically for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining fibre, and fibre laser applications requiring a pure Gaussian beam. The company has further expanded its range by offering several new designs.

All collimators

Fixed Wavelength
The FCX20 series is based on the standard FC20 Fibre Collimator but fixed at one wavelength. They offer a highly collimated, Gaussian beam with low wavefront error and are readily available in several popular wavelengths. The FCX20 comes with a 3 mm cable terminated with an FC or FC/APC connector.

Fused Silica
The FC5S and FC10S Fused Silica versions are of a multi-element design that delivers a highly collimated, Gaussian beam with low wavefront error. The lockable adjustable focus feature enables focusing a very tight spot at a great distance, or expansion of the beam to illuminate an area.

Micro Laser Systems is also able to manufacture custom collimators, being responsible for the whole project from design, through manufacturing, to final assembly and test. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.


CryoSpectra brings compact cryogenic cooling to the UK

CryoSpectra is a class-leader in the production of superior very low vibration high-power cryorefrigerators that deliver 90 to 170 Kelvin temperatures into a vacuum chamber. High power laser crystal cooling, to guarantee Carrier Envelope Phase (CEP) stabilisation of femtosecond or shorter pulses, is just one application. Elliot Scientific is now distributing their product range throughout the UK and Ireland.

CryoSpectra_CatLogoSQ500Applications

  • Laser crystal cooling
  • High power laser amplifiers
  • CEP stabilised laser systems
  • Ti:Sapphire multi-millijoule, multi-kHz amplifier systems
  • Quantum Cascade Lasers
  • Cryopumping

With a high cooling capacity from a very small gold-plated cold head, CryoSpectra products are also ideal for use in a broad range of other demanding cryo-applications in industry and science – especially physics, chemistry and biotechnology, and the company can offer customised solutions too.

Features

  • High cooling capacity at cryogenic temperatures
  • Cool-down time 20 minutes
  • Compact cold head is vibration-free
  • Quiet and maintenance-free

Micro Laser Systems expand range with UV, RGB and custom collimators

The Micro Laser Systems‘ FC Series of standard collimators are designed specifically for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining fibre, and fibre laser applications requiring a pure Gaussian beam. The company has now added to this range by offering three new designs and a customisation service.

All collimatorsOptimised for UV applications in glass or fused silica, the FC5-UV has been specially coated for the 350 to 410 nm wavelength range. The lens system is also well corrected to give excellent beam quality and minimise fluorescence. An apochromatic collimator has also been developed for simultaneous transmission of RGB wavelengths without any distortion. Applications include projection systems, flow cytometry and microscopy.

Completing the line-up is the Fibre Focuser. Based on the FC10, it can accommodate various focusing optics and can therefore be optimised for single mode fibre, polarisation maintaining (PM) fibre, or large mode area (LMA) fibre. The multi-element design provides a tightly focused spot with good working distances. Custom Fibre Focusers can be produced for any focal length, spot size, or particular wavelength. They can also include other optical elements such as filters, polarisers, or windows. 

Micro Laser Systems is well positioned to manufacture custom collimators as they are responsible for the whole project: from design, through manufacturing, to final assembly and test. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.


Laser World of Photonics next week – Optical Tweezers Live Demo and more

Munich is the place to be for beer and next week’s 40th Laser World of Photonics exhibition and conference…

Laser World of Photonics: Munich
Elliot Scientific is on Stand 306 in Hall C1

Attendees can visit Elliot Scientific on Stand 306 in Hall C1 and see our Optical Tweezers system live as we are doing real time demonstrations.  They can also take advantage of the opportunity to experience the quality of our Elliot|Martock flexure stages, slides, and positioners.

Our extensive portfolio of precision opto-mechanical components, custom design solutions, and myriad other products that we offer can also be discussed with our knowledgeable and friendly team.

If you cannot make it to the show, then download our 2013 catalogue. It covers our Elliot|Martock and Lab Essentials ranges in one convenient 14Mb PDF publication packed with extra details and drawings.


RM21™ Platform Offers Precision Framework for Custom Microscopy

Microscope Platform for the FutureThe RM21™, from Mad City Labs, is a precision microscope platform designed for maximum user accessibility. Its three dimensional space makes it the perfect framework for constructing custom microscopy instruments that require a flexible configuration. As all posts and fixturing points are referenced to a known datum, the microscopy and optical components used in the experiment are easily aligned.

Advanced applications, such as super resolution (SR) microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and TIRF, will all benefit from the RM21’s thoughtful design and robust construction. From now on, microscopy projects can leave the flat optical table for a 3D future. Contact us for more details about the RM21 and Elliot Scientific’s Lab Essentials range of optical fixtures and fittings.
