Cobolt, a part of Hübner Photonics, has released the Cobolt Skyra, a multi-line laser platform. With up to four wavelengths permanently aligned in a single compact package (70 x 134 x 38mm) and requiring no external electronics, the multi-line laser will enable the next generation of compact and easy-to-use analytical instrumentation for the life science market.
The laser is built using Cobolt’s proprietary HTCure manufacturing technology for robustness in a compact, hermetically sealed package. HTCure results in an ultra-stable, permanent alignment of optical elements, with very precise and stable overlap of the combined output beams. As a result, Cobolt lasers have proven to deliver excellant reliability and performance both in the lab and industrial environments with demonstrated lifetime capability of more than 60,000 hours and several thousand units installed in the field.
