LS-2 - Raman Spectroscopy - Stabilized Dual Laser Source
- LS-2 benchtop module
- Suitable for SERDS analysis
The LS-2 LabSource component is a VBG®-stabilized dual-laser source, fully-integrated, benchtop module that supports Shifted Excitation Raman Difference Spectroscopy (SERDS). This device enables greatly increased spectral analysis of compounds that fluoresce or are actually in the existence of background fluorescence.
It features two fiber-coupled laser diode sources that are spectrally-narrowed and wavelength-stabilized via PD-LD’s proprietary VBG® system.
The LabSource is the exclusively device on the market to offer the combination of 2 laser sources with closely-spaced wavelengths (from 0.1 to approximately 1 nm) that is the underlying mechanism of SERDS research. The difference between the spectral outputs from these two kinds of sources permits high quality spectral details in the existence of background fluorescence.
The source is easy to manage either from the front side panel or even remotely by using the USB interface. External modulation, shutter control as well as analog power control are offered.
Almost any combination of two lasers with wavelengths at 647, 785, 830 and also 1064 nm can be found, along with other wavelengths can certainly be produced upon inquiry.
Furthermore, the LabSource contains an exclusive high-power fiber-optic switch with internal beam dump, which permits rapid switching between laser sources while making sure not any laser emission emerges from the output port in between the measurements.
The LabSource is intended for benchtop applications, where its SERDs features may be joined with available laboratory analytical devices. Caused by its small size in addition to convenience of setup, it is used with in a variety of setups within a lab.
The LabSource is qualified to any application in which fluorescence impedes traditional single-source Raman spectroscopy analysis, for example life sciences applications which require analysis of live tissue or organic subject.
