CW Lasers

CW Lasers (continuous-wave lasers) emit a continuous stream of laser light, unlike pulsed lasers. Pulsed lasers store energy and emit the stored, concentrated energy in periodic bursts or pulses. Indeed, RPMC Lasers offers a wide selection of Continuous-Wave (CW) Lasers and Diode Modules. For example: Laser Diode (LD) Modules, DPSS Lasers, HeNe and Argon-Ion Gas Lasers, Fiber Lasers, Line Modules, Multi-Wavelength Combiners, and Custom Lasers. CW Lasers and Modules are available in the UV, Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR wavelength regimes. Available output powers range from 0.5mW up to 100W. These single-mode and multimode CW offerings are available with either free-space or fiber-coupled output. Furthermore, along with standard output, narrow linewidth or broadband output options are also available. Finally, our laser package options range from simple laser diodes, to modules to full turn-key systems.

CW Applications

Our CW Lasers provide utility in the Life Science, Medical, and Industrial markets. Therefore, we support many applications, including our focused, CW applications. For example: Flow Cytometry, DNA Sequencing, Confocal & Fluorescence Microscopy, Optogenetics, Aesthetics, Dental, Photodynamic Therapy, Raman Spectroscopy, Interferometry, Machine Vision, Holography, Laser Pumping and Seeding, and many others.

How To Select A CW Laser:

Welcome to RPMC’s ‘How To Select A Continuous Wavelength (CW) Laser’ page. At RPMC, we have a large selection of CW Lasers and Modules, and we are here to help you select the best one for your application.

CW Lasers and Modules are defined as:

CW Output
Have thermal management included
Have an electrical interface for power and control included

This makes our CW Lasers and Modules some of the easiest lasers to define and use. Important things to note when selecting a laser are; what wavelength/color is needed, how much power is required, do you need single-mode vs multimode, is there a special need for narrow linewidth, or broadband, and what are your beam delivery requirements – free-space, or fiber-coupled output/delivery.

After reading this page, you should have a better understanding on how to select the best CW Laser for your specific needs. Let’s get started!

Laser Types:

There are many types of CW Lasers and Modules to choose from including Laser Diode Modules, DPSS Lasers, Gas Lasers, Fiber Lasers, and Wavelength Combiners. These “types” define the medium used to create the laser. In many cases, when selecting a CW Laser, the type of laser is primarily used to get the various wavelengths of interest. For example, there are no yellow laser diodes. Therefore, if you need a 561nm laser, the options are either DPSS Laser, or Gas Laser. If you want more information about the various types of lasers, click on the links below to read more about each type.

Wavelength:

One of the main specifications in defining a CW Laser for your application is the wavelength, or color needed. We offer Laser Modules from the Ultraviolet, through the visible spectrums, and into the IR spectrum. The wavelength is usually defined by the application.

Ultraviolet or UV Lasers:

UV CW Lasers offer extremely high photon energy that cannot be accomplished by visible and infrared lasers. We offer UV Lasers at 349nm – DPSS Lasers and 375nm – Laser Diodes.

Violet Lasers:

Violet or Purple CW Lasers: primarily 405nm Laser Diode Modules.

Blue Lasers:

Blue CW Lasers are available in either Laser Diode Modules or Gas Lasers.

Green Lasers:

Green CW Lasers are one of the most common wavelengths on the market, because lasers in the green spectrum are widely available from Laser Diodes, frequency-doubled DPSS Lasers, and Gas Lasers.

Yellow Lasers:

Yellow CW Lasers are one of the most difficult visible lasers to get, since there are no diode lasers available, but there are Yellow DPSS Lasers and Yellow Gas Lasers available.

Red Lasers:

Red CW Lasers are one of the most popular colors in the visible wavelength spectrum, because Laser Diodes are so widely available, but so are Red DPSS Lasers and Red Gas Lasers.

IR Lasers:

IR CW Lasers include Near Infrared (NIR), Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR), Mid-Wavelength Infrared (MWIR), and Long-Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) Lasers. IR Lasers are perhaps the most diverse category of Solid-State Lasers; with IR Laser Diodes, Diode-Pumped Solid-State (DPSS) Lasers, Flashlamp Pumped Solid-State Lasers, and Fiber Lasers, all emitting in the NIR Laser spectrum. SWIR Lasers, MWIR Lasers, and LWIR Lasers are ideal for many applications in the Defense/Military markets and play an important role in telecom applications. To see all of the various IR Laser products we offer, check out these links:

Output Power:

The output power from the laser of module is potentially one of the most important specifications when defining the laser. You need enough power for the application, but over specifying the output power can needlessly increase costs of the laser. Although, CW Lasers can usually be operated lower than the rated power without a change in performance.

Other Parameters:

Other parameters that need to be defined when selecting a CW Laser include:

Mode Type:

Single-Mode Lasers typically have higher beam quality and lower output power, and they are useful for applications like Raman Spectroscopy, Confocal Microscopy, and Interferometry. Multimode Lasers typically have higher output power and lower beam quality, and they are useful for applications like Fiber Laser Pumping, Laser Cladding, and Machine Vision.

Beam Output:

Beam output options include Free-Space (including Line Modules) and various Fiber-Coupled output options, including SM Fiber, MM Fiber, and PM Fiber. Essentially, the choice between Free-Space and Fiber-Coupled beam delivery comes down to what your beam delivery requirements are (how you plan to deliver the beam from the laser to the target/workpiece).

Linewidth Requirements:

Narrow Linewidth Lasers have a tightly controlled, narrow optical spectrum, allowing for a very precise, stabilized wavelength output, and they are useful for applications like Spectroscopy, Holography, and Interferometry. Broadband Lasers emit a very broad optical spectrum (10s or 100s of nanometers wide), and they are useful for various Telecom, Optical Coherence Tomography, and other applications.

CW Lasers FAQs

How do I align my optical system?

Laser alignment can be a challenging task, but aligning a laser beam doesn’t have to be as complicated as it might seem with the right optical alignment tools and proper laser alignment techniques. Multiple optical alignment techniques have been developed over the years, utilized by technicians and engineers to simplify the alignment process. With the development of these universal laser beam alignment methods, along with some laser alignment tips and tricks, you don’t need to be a laser expert to perform your alignments with relative ease, ensuring your laser beam path is right where you want it to be and your beam is on target every time. Read our article, titled “Laser Alignment: HeNe Lasers, Methods, and Helpful Tips” to get the knowledge and advice you need for proper optical beam path alignment utilizing HeNe Lasers.

How do I align my optical system?

Should I choose multimode or single-mode for Raman spectroscopy?

On the surface, this seems like a simple question since Raman is a nonlinear optical effect and therefore the tighter the beam can be focused the higher the conversion efficiency. Seemingly a single-mode laser would be preferable, but in practice there are other factors that can complicate the situation. The first question you should ask yourself when considering which type of laser to choose is whether you are doing microscopy or bulk sampling. If the answer to that question is microscopy, then you immediately should go with a single mode laser. Since the goal of any microscopy system is to produce the highest resolution image possible, the number one consideration should be how tightly can the laser beam be focused down. However, there are several other considerations when choosing between multimode and single-mode. Learn which is best for you in this article: “Multimode vs Single-Mode Lasers for Raman Spectroscopy.” Get more information from our Lasers 101, Blogs, Whitepapers, FAQs, and Press Release pages in our Knowledge Center!

What is a CW Laser?

A CW or continuous-wave laser is any laser with a continuous flow of pump energy. It emits a constant stream of radiation, as opposed to a q-switched or mode-locked pulsed laser with a pulsed output beam. A laser is typically defined as having a pulse width greater than 250 ms. The first CW laser was a helium-neon (HeNe) gas laser, developed in 1960, which you can read more about in this blog “HeNe Lasers: Bright Past, Brighter Future.” If you want to read more about the types of CW Lasers we offer, check out the Overview of CW Lasers section on our Lasers 101 Page!

What is the best laser for optical surface flatness testing?

It is essential that the laser exhibit a high level of spectral stability, ensuring that any changes in the interference pattern are caused by features in the sample and not originating from the laser beam. In addition to spectral stability, high beam pointing stability ensures consistent measurements by mitigating any beam position drift concerning the position of the sample. Lasers with longer coherence lengths, and subsequently narrower linewidths, play an important role in determining the resolution of the measurement, as well as consideration of the wavelength used. Exhibiting both single longitudinal mode and single spatial mode has excellent benefits.

What type of laser do I need for confocal microscopy?

The short answer is: You have some flexibility, but the laser source should be PM fiber-coupled and have a low noise, TEM₀₀ beam mode. The excitation bandwidth of the fluorophores used must overlap with the laser wavelength, as various fluorophores need different wavelengths. So, you may require multiple lasers, which means you’ve got a beam combining alignment challenge to tackle. One way to avoid this is through the convenience of Multi-Wavelength Beam Combiners. If you want to learn more on the subject of confocal fluorescence microscopy, ideal laser sources, and the benefits of beam combiners, check out this white paper: “Multi-Wavelength Laser Sources for Multi-Color Fluorescence Microscopy.” Get more information from our Lasers 101, Blogs, Whitepapers, FAQs, and Press Release pages in our Knowledge Center!

What type of laser is best for Doppler LIDAR?

Various LIDAR signal methods for measuring velocity have one critical requirement in common, the need for precise control over laser frequency. While a wide variety of single-frequency lasers have been used in Doppler LIDAR research, the industry as a whole has adopted single-frequency fiber lasers as the ideal light source. Fiber lasers have several advantages over traditional DPSS lasers, all of which derive from the geometry of the fiber optic itself, namely the innate ability to have an extremely long single-mode optical cavity. This geometry allows for the production of either extremely high-power, single-mode lasers producing unprecedented brightness, or extremely narrow band lasers, with near perfect single-frequency output. If you want to learn more about Doppler LIDAR, the critical considerations involved, and ideal laser sources, check out this whitepaper: “Single-Frequency Fiber Lasers for Doppler LIDAR.” Get more information from our Lasers 101, Blogs, Whitepapers, FAQs, and Press Release pages in our Knowledge Center!

What’s the difference between single transverse mode & single longitudinal mode?

Within the laser community, one of the most overused and often miscommunicated terms is the phrase “single mode.” This is because a laser beam when traveling through air takes up a three-dimensional volume in space similar to that of a cylinder; and just as with a cylinder, a laser beam can be divided into independent coordinates each with their own mode structure. For a cylinder we would call these the length and the cross-section, but as shown in the figure below for a laser beam, we define these as the transverse electromagnetic (TEM) plane and the longitudinal axis. Both sets of modes are fundamental to the laser beam’s properties, since the TEM modes determine the spatial distribution of the laser beams intensity, and the longitudinal modes determine the spectral properties of the laser. As a result, when a laser is described as being “single-mode” first you need to make sure that you truly understand which mode is being referred to. Meaning that you must know if the laser is single transverse mode, single longitudinal mode, or both. Get all the information you need in this article: “What is Single Longitudinal Mode?” Get more information from our Lasers 101, Blogs, Whitepapers, FAQs, and Press Release pages in our Knowledge Center!
