Laser Modules for Scientific Applications

From light scattering to fluorescence applications, ProPhotonix manufactures laser solutions to meet the scientific community's needs.

Laser diode modules are a key component in a number of scientific instruments, allowing a range of parameters to be measured simply and easily.

Laser light scattering is a tool used for many scientific instruments. By looking at the amount of light scattered by particles, and the angle of scatter, you can make important assertions about particles in a flow such as particle size. This gives information about your fluid flow allowing you to identify particles and detect impurities such as smoke in a gas flow. By selecting the right laser wavelength and power you can improve the efficiencies of light scattering and improve the accuracy of your system.

Exciting molecules and proteins, to cause them to fluoresce, is another key focus of many scientific instruments. For fluorescence to work effectively, an excitation light source must be precisely matched with the fluorescent dye used in a system. Thermoelectric cooling of laser modules allows for high precision wavelength tuning and ensures high levels of wavelength and power stability; essential parameters for a laser excitation source.

ProPhotonix manufactures a range of modules well suited to meet the requirements of scientific industries. With over a decade of manufacturing bespoke laser systems, we are well positioned to meet the diverse requirements of scientific instrumentation. With a wide range of standard modules, including thermoelectrically cooled modules, as well as our expertise in customised solutions, we can design and innovate to meet the most demanding requirements from the scientific community.
