The LASOS® LDM-XT laser series is the latest generation of laser diode modules that allows high resolution microscopy for both OEM and Laboratory applications.
Figure 5 LDM-XT laser diode module beam coupling options.
LDM-XT can be delivered either (i) free-beam or (ii) by single mode fibre with direct modulation at frequencies up to 300 MHz. The LDM-XT are available in a wide range of wavelengths from 375 to 830 nm at power levels up to 250 mW. The LDM-XT have additional options such as reduced Spectral Width of <1 nm, circular output beam, enhanced beam quality (M2 value <1.2) and speckle homogenization (see Figure 6). The LASOS CommanderTM software offers PC based controls via USB interface.
Figure 6 SHINE option to reduce image noise.
These advantages have led the LDM-XT to be the lasers of choice for high resolution and confocal microscopy with the image noise reduction (shown in Figure 6) allowing high resolution images such as Figure 7 to be produced.

The LDM-XT products work seamlessly with the LASOS Diode-Pumped Solid-State (DPSS) products, with as many as 6 wavelengths combined into the integrated, multi-laser light MC6 series shown in Figure 8. Several lasers can be coupled into a single optical fibre with each laser modulated individually.
