Coherent pioneered in 1979 the use of ceramic metal plasma tubes technology in ion lasers.

This technology would, a few years later, become the market standard as a result of an impressive leap in quality, power, and mainly, in the plasma tube lifetime.

The Coherent’s INNOVA series lasts over 7,000 hours in low power lasers (up to 5W), and up to 5,000 hours in high power lasers (up to 25W).

This reliable laser was designed to provide a unique combination of high performance and affordability for laboratories that need a top of the line laser.

Aplications

Raman spectroscopy
Fluorescence spectroscopy
Continuous Ti:sapphire laser pumping
Dye laser pumping
Laser doppler anemometry

INNOVA 300

Supplying up to 10W of multiline power and 1W in UV, this laser offers PowerTrack, an active cavity stabilization component, that makes it excellent for Ti:sapphire laser pumping and holographic experiments with short time exposure (up to 15 min.). Alternatively, INNOVA 300 offers ModeTrack and ModeTune, mode-hop-free and etalon temperature stabilization components for use in long-term experiments (several hours).

Applications

Pulsed Ti:sapphire laser pumping
Holography
Spectroscopy
Stereolithography
Laser mastering

INNOVA 300c FreD

This is an ion laser that uses intracavity frequency doubling (BBO crystals), which allows deep-UV (229.0 nm to 264.3 nm) operation.

Applications

UV resonance Raman spectroscopy
Optical fiber-grating writing
Capillary electrophoresis
UV photolithography

INNOVA Sabre

It is the most sophisticated ion laser available in the market. Besides the active stabilization components PowerTrack and VTrack, Sabre is equipped with the Sentry system, which provides hands-off mirrors alignment, wavelengths selection and TEM 00 beam profile. These systems guarantee Sabre’s best performance, even under unfavorable environmental conditions or when its operators are not experienced in laser handling.

Applications
