PL Series: CO and CO2 Gas Lasers
Brand: Edinburgh Instruments | Category: Nanotechnology
Continuous wave carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas lasers, from the 1 W sealed PL2-S up to the 180 W flowing gas PL6. Line selection ranges from 50 to 90 lines depending on model, and active stabilisation holds frequency to within a few megahertz over ten minutes. They are used in spectroscopy, non-linear optics, LIDAR and interferometry.

More from Laser Systems
- MTL-5: Mini-TEA CO2 Laser
Transversely excited atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide laser delivering pulses of about 50 nanoseconds at up to 100 Hz. It is available untuned for maximum energy or tuned for line selection between 9.2 and 10.8 micrometres, in multimode or TEM00 beam quality.
- AGILE: Tunable White Light Source
Wavelength tunable supercontinuum laser giving picosecond pulses across the visible and near infrared with a variable repetition rate, designed for time-correlated single photon counting on the FLS1000. It replaces a set of fixed wavelength diode lasers with one source that can be tuned to the sample.
- FIRL-100: Terahertz Far Infrared Laser
Optically pumped far infrared laser producing terahertz output, tuneable from 40 micrometres to 1.222 millimetres. A CO2 pump laser gives 50 W on its strongest line across 80 accessible lines, and the far infrared cavity converts that to the terahertz region for spectroscopy and physics research.
