Cobolt AB, Swedish manufacturer of high performance DPSS lasers, announces the release of a higher power model of the Cobolt Jive 561 nm on the ground breaking single-frequency 05-01 Series platform. The laser is now available with up to 500 mW CW output power and is perfectly suited to demanding applications such as advanced flow cytometry and super-resolution microscopy.

The Cobolt Jive 05-01 is a continuous-wave single-frequency DPSS laser operating at 561 nm in a perfect quality TEM00 beam (M2<1.1). A new proprietary cavity design provides ultra-low noise performance of typically <0.1% rms (over 20 Hz-20MHz and over 10-400C) and a narrow spectral linewidth of <1MHz as well as being immune to optical feedback. It is available with 200 mW, 300 mW or 500 mW output power on the single-frequency 05-01 Series platform. Lower powers (25 mW-150 mW) are available on the 04-01 Series platform.

The laser is manufactured using Cobolt's proprietary HTCure Technology in a compact and hermetically sealed package, which provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions and exceptional reliability. Lasers built using the HTCure Technology have shown to withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks in operation without any sign of degraded performance. They can be exposed to extreme temperatures (>100oC), and are insensitive to pressure and humidity.

A compact controller (CDRH or OEM) is supplied with the laser and can be remotely accessed for operation and monitoring of the laser system over digital (RS-232) or analog interfaces. Available on the same platform is also the Cobolt Zouk with 10 mW CW at 355 nm, the Cobolt Samba with up to 1000 mW CW at 532 nm, the Cobolt Flamenco with 300 mW CW at 660 nm and the Cobolt Rumba with up to 2000 mW CW at 1064 nm.
