Lasers & Light Sources Motion & Vibration Control Optics & Accessories Nanosurface Characterisation Sales / Service / Support   December 2011 – Seasons Greetings to everyone We hope everyone enjoys a January break as much as we will!! It has been an incredibly busy six months at NewSpec with over 30 different lasers, AFM's and profilers to be installed. We thank everyone for their support as we have worked our way through a very long, very pleasing list. On top of this, our congratulations to Graeme Jones who married Jess in October, and went AWOL ....seems after 6 years of NewSpec he deserved a bit of a break! 2012 is looking like an exciting year yet again with Newport acquiring High Q and Ophir, and Bruker acquiring CETR – which has had the immediate impact of adding the HIgh Q and Optimet products to the NewSpec product range and Tribology Test Equipment from CETR, so we have new products to train on across the company. Inderpreet Gill is now installing our first Delong Instruments Electron Microscopes, as well as Evactron in-situ Vacuum Chamber Plasma Cleaners which will also require further training. Read on to discover the lastest news from NewSpec.

About the Product Download Brochure New Products from Daylight Solutions Aries™ Series - High Power, Multi-Wavelength Mid-IR Laser Systems Daylight Solutions introduces the Aries™ series of high-power and fixed-wavelength lasers in the mid-IR. A modular "socket" approach allows for flexibility in performance including up to 10 W or 7 different simultaneous wavelengths. Proprietary beam combination techniques allow for collinear beam output for most wavelength combinations. Designed for high-power applications including optical fiber testing and infrared countermeasures. About the Product Download Spec Sheet Unicorn™ II Fixed-wavelength Lasers Daylight Solutions have reinvented the fixed-wavelength laser with a series of innovations that mean better performance from the new Unicorn™ II laser.  A more robust and stable resonator structure means better linewidth and wavelength stability as environmental conditions vary. The new HFQD control electronics (High-Fidelity QCL Drive) allow for increased repetition rates and longer pulses while providing more protection for the gain chip. About the Product Download Spec Sheet Tuning Range Increase for Our CW-Pulsed Lasers Daylight Solutions have improved the quality of our laser chips and the precision of manufacturing. This translates into improved tuning specifications. Many of their standard models can support broader tuning ranges (≥70 cm-1). Now specifing ≥120 cm-1 of tuning at 4.5 µm and ≥110 cm-1 at wavelengths in the 5-6 µm region. Other tuning ranges have increased too.
