Cobolt Rumba 1064nm Compact Laser

Cobolt AB, Swedish manufacturer of high performance lasers, announces the release of a compact, Class 3B model of the single-frequency Cobolt Rumba 1064 nanometre (nm). The laser is now available with up to 400 milliwatts (mW) continuous-wave (CW) output power on the 04-01 Series, offering a more compact footprint than the 05-01 Series. The Cobolt Rumba 1064nm is suited to advanced analytical applications requiring stable single-frequency operation such as Raman spectroscopy.

The Cobolt Rumba 1064nm is a CW single-frequency diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser operating at a fixed wavelength in a TEM00 beam (M2<1.1). A proprietary laser cavity design provides low noise performance of typically <0.25% rms (more than 20 Hz-20 MHz and more than 10°C-40°C), a narrow spectral line width of <1 MHz and immunity to optical feedback.

The laser is manufactured using Cobolt’s proprietary HTCure Technology in a compact and hermetically sealed package, which provides reliability and a high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions. Lasers built using the HTCure Technology have been shown to withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks in operation without any sign of degraded performance. They can be exposed to extreme temperatures (>100°C) 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 RS-232 or USB interfaces.
