JDSU’s air-cooled argon lasers are designed for complex, high-resolution OEM
applications such as flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, graphic arts, and
semiconductor inspection. They are available in two packages:
Cylindrical Package
Symmetric design and axial airflow in the cylindrical argon ion laser heads
provide the best mechanical package to ensure optimum beam-pointing stability
and fast warm-up. Both initial installation and routine maintenance are
straightforward due to tight production control of optical and mechanical
tolerances. Blower-induced mechanical vibration is virtually eliminated through
the use of flexible ducting between the laser head and blower assembly.
Rectangular Package
Industry-standard rectangular packaging and a variety of wavelength options
ensure easy initial installation and field replacement for most applications. As
with JDSU cylindrical laser heads, rectangular models incorporate axial airflow
for exceptional beam pointing stability and fast warm-up. A top-mounted fan
assembly simplifies installation. 2219 series laser packages offer a unique
replaceable tube cartridge assembly that allows for five-minute laser tube changes
in the field. Precise pre-alignment of tube cartridges reduces the need for end-user
system realignment after tube replacement.
Compliance
• CE per specification EN55011 and
EN50082-2
