Overcome Specification Breakdown & Sub-Par Performance

New GEMultra redefines performance stability and application flexibility

Proprietary ULTRALoQ™ technology and an integrated variable attenuator (VOA) overcome typical 532 nm DPSS laser performance challenges

Novanta continues to drive innovations that deliver real value to our customers. Life Science, Semiconductor, and Industrial Scientific sectors using 532 nm lasers will see accurate, consistent results without taking extreme integration and operating steps to maintain narrow operating temperature specifications.

 

GEMultra delivers consistent output power regardless of variable operating temperatures while maintaining constant performance specifications. New ULTRALoQ™ technology is a cutting-edge material system designed to maximize stability and robustness while supporting new automated build processes. Incorporating an onboard variable optical attenuator (VOA) ensures stability and adherence to performance specifications, even during power changes, enhancing operational flexibility while reducing integration complexity and cost.

Technology Advancements and Unique Features
Ultra-Stable Laser Platform

Rapidly changing ambient temperatures can stress laser cavities, causing unstable laser output, resulting in false positives, unplanned downtime and reduced lifespan. Novanta’s ULTRALoQ™ technology features a meticulously engineered material system designed specifically to endure extreme temperatures and rapidly changing environments while supporting fully automated manufacturing processes.

Consistent Output Power & Beam Size

GEMultra delivers nominal output power of 2 Watts while maintaining a consistent beam diameter of 0.9 ± 0.1 mm with peak-to-peak power stability of < 1%. Beam size and peak-to-peak power stability remains constant at different power levels. The consistent power specifications ensure accurate results and decrease false positives and unplanned downtimes associated with sub-par performance.

Integrated Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA)

Meeting high performance specifications across a wide range of power levels is challenging, and often requires separate attenuators, leading to added cost and integration challenges for OEMs. GEMultra incorporates an onboard VOA, achieving a maximum attenuation of OD2. This ensures stability and adherence to performance specifications, even during power changes, enhancing operational flexibility while reducing integration complexity and cost.

Flexibility & Durability

A versatile 532 nm laser, GEMultra incorporates several features to broaden application usage, enhance usability, including:

  • Fiber coupling: Multi or single mode fiber delivery options which allows the beam to be delivered to the point of need.
  • Intelligent control unit: Easy setting and monitoring of the laser parameters. Incorporating PowerLoQ™ technology, GEMultra lasers demonstrate extreme power stability over extended periods of use.
  • Durable: All GEMultra lasers undergo a 1200 g drop-test verifying all components are correctly fitted prior to their extended 300-hour test period. This rigorous testing regime ensures long operational lifetimes
  • RemoteApp™: Dedicated software enabling the laser to be remotely controlled locally avoiding service center shipping and downtime. GEMultra connects directly to our support team to monitor laser performance, diagnose performance opportunities, and perform laser optimization.
