The modern fluorescence microscopy field encompasses a wide range of techniques requiring various wavelengths, power levels, modulation capabilities, beam quality, and spectral characteristics. To achieve multi-color imaging, most setups utilize multiple lasers combined through optical elements or fibers, offering flexibility but requiring alignment and maintenance. At HÜBNER Photonics we accommodate these needs by offering 3 versatile solutions:

• Our C-FLEX platform can integrate up to 8 lasers into a laser combiner, ensuring flexibility and user-friendliness.
• The C-WAVE laser offers a wide tunable range, covering most of the visible and near IR spectrum, facilitating access to exotic fluorophores.

The realization of quantum-sensor based experimental setups and products relies on the availability of state-of-the art components like specialized diamond tips, fast low-noise electronics, and high-performance lasers. At HÜBNER Photonics we offer the following lasers targeted at quantum applications:

• The Cobolt 06-01 Series contains lasers over a large wavelength range in a compact plug and play format. The Series consists of high-performance fixed wavelength diode laser modules (MLD) and diode-pumped lasers (DPL). High speed direct modulation capability and true off during modulation make them ideal for applications in bioimaging and quantum technologies.
• The C-WAVE is also used to test the quality of artificially grown structures with color centers designed for quantum applications. Key characteristics of the C-WAVE are the wide spectral coverage in the visible and NIR (450 nm – 3.5 µm), narrow linewidth (< 1 MHz), mode-hop-free tunability, high output power of several hundred milliwatts, and its nearly perfect Gaussian beam profile.

Cobolt lasers offer the world’s broadest range of compact lasers perfectly suited for high resolution Raman spectroscopy applications.

It comes with an extremely low spectral drift (<1 pm) and a spectral purity guaranteed to be better than 80 dB (typically much better). This allows for a very high-resolution Raman spectroscopy and a possibility to detect low frequency Raman signals even down in the THz regime.
