Laser head 

The  laser  head  contains  pump  diode,  laser  cavity,  beam  shaping  optics  and  thermoelectric  coolers  (TEC)  for 

temperature control of the cavity and pump diode. The laser head contains an optical feed-back loop which ensures 

long-term power stability of the emitted visual beam. The laser head features a manual mechanical shutter as well as 

a laser hazard label and a laser classification label. The laser head gets electrical power and control signals from the 

Controller  via a 26-pin  HD Sub-D  cable.  All versions  covered in  this manual are available  with all CDRH and OEM 

controller configurations. See section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 for available power levels.

Free Beam Laser Head 04-02  

The  standard  Cobolt  version  04-02  free  beam  lasers  with  and  external  temperature  control  available  for  all 

wavelengths but are standard for Calypso

 491nm and Mambo

 594nm. 

 

Free Beam Laser Head 04-51 

Cobolt version 04-51 are free-beam lasers, are compact versions of the 05-01 series and has a higher immunity to back 

reflections compared to the 04-01 laser head. Currently Cobolt Samba

 532 nm, Jive

 561nm, Flamenco

 660nm 

and Rumba

 1064nm are available in version 04-51.   

Free Beam Laser Head 04-11 

Cobolt  version  04-11  are  free-beam  lasers  with  integrated  optical  isolators  to  provide  high  immunity  to  back 

reflections. Currently only Cobolt Samba

 532 nm lasers, up to 320 mW, are available in version 04-11. These lasers 

are only available in OEM configuration (-4/6/800); the laser head does not include a mechanical shutter, so it is not 

compliant with the CE or CDRH laser safety standards and is intended for OEM integration only.

 

Fiber Pigtailed Laser Head 04-03    

Cobolt  version  04-03  lasers  are  delivered  with  a  permanently  aligned  fiber  pigtail.  The  fiber  is  equipped  with  a
