The Cobolt Odin Series from HÜBNER Photonics are Tunable Mid-IR Lasers that operate at 3264 nm, 3431 nm, and 4330 nm. These ultra-compact and industrial-grade lasers deliver an average power of 80 mW at a center wavelength freely selectable over the range of 3.1 - 4.6 µm through tailoring of the nonlinear crystal with a pulse energy of over 5 µJ. The lasers are manufactured using Cobolt&rsquos proprietary HTCure technology and are based on a fully contained temperature tunable Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) with an integrated pump laser.
The lasers can be tuned in wavelength over tens of nanometers via temperature adjustments. The emission is generated in nanosecond pulses (3-5 ns) at a high pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz and a low pulse-to-pulse jitter of under 1 µs. They require a DC supply voltage of 15 V and consumes up to 6A of current. The lasers have a beam diameter of 1.9 ± 0.5 mm and a beam divergence of less than 8 mrad.
The Cobolt Odin Series is available in a compact and sealed laser head with USB or RS232 interfaces. The combination of compact format, high level of robustness, spectral flexibility, and low power consumption make the Cobolt Odin Series lasers ideal for light sources for a large variety of industrial and scientific applications related to molecular spectroscopy. In particular, they are suitable for integration into analytical instrumentation for fast, accurate and sensitive gas detection used in environmental monitoring applications as well as for control and limitation of pollution emissions in petrochemical, automotive and energy production industries.
