JDSU’s air-cooled argon lasers are designed for complex, high-resolution OEM applications such as flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, graphic arts, and semiconductor inspection. They are available in two packages: Cylindrical Package and Rectangular Package.
The JDSU 2211/14 series air‑cooled argon‑ion laser heads are offered in cylindrical and rectangular packages for high‑resolution OEM applications such as DNA sequencing, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, semiconductor inspection, hematology, high‑speed printing, and photo processing. Both package types use axial airflow for fast warm‑up, beam‑pointing stability, and vibration isolation.
Key specifications include output powers from 4 mW to 40 mW, wavelengths from 458 nm to 515 nm, mode purity >95 %, beam diameter ≈0.70 mm, divergence ≈0.90 mrad, and a warm‑up time of 5 minutes to reach 95 % power. The heads operate from 4 °C to 40 °C, at altitudes up to 10 000 ft, and are covered by a 5,000‑hour or 12‑month warranty.
