The Mini-Tau is supplied with a computer incorporating the TCC900 plug-in card for fast data acquisition. Fluorescence lifetimes between 50ps and 50us can be measured and complex decay kinetics with up to four lifetimes can be analysed. Students can watch profiles build live on screen via the straight-forward user interface.

PL Series

The PL series of continuous wave (CW), infrared gas lasers is suitable for a range of applications including: molecular spectroscopy, non-linear optics, interferometry, process control, atmospheric studies, plasma density measurements and more. The PL Series features grating tuned CO2 lasers with step tunable wavelength from 9 - 11µm and models in this series feature single line powers from just a few Watts (Model PL2) up to 180W (Model PL5). All units in the range feature an invar rod frame to support the laser resonator as well as manually controlled diffraction gratings for line selection. Please visit our website to find out more about the PL Series.

MTL-5 - Mini Tea CO2 Laser

The MTL-5 is a bench-top, transverse excited atmospheric pressure (TEA), pulsed CO2 laser designed to suit a range of scientific applications. This compact unit features self-diagnostic testing and built-in, fail safe mechanisms for reliable and accurate monitoring of system performance and for system integrity support. It can be operated in multi-mode or single-mode and is supplied with a separate power supply. The MTL-5 features a cylindrical laser head that contains profiled electrodes to achieve a homogenous discharge and operation on 60 lines between 9.2 and 10.8 microns can be achieved via the grating tuning option.

FIR Series (Far Infrared Lasers / Terahertz lasers)

The FIR Series features a range of optically pumped, far infrared (FIR) lasers that have been expertly designed and created to suit applications that require coherent radiation within the spectral range of 40 microns to 1.22mm (the TeraHertz 0.25 to 7.5THz frequency range). These lasers are Invar bar stabilised and can feature single or dual output powers of 150mW and 500mW at 118 µm. They rely on the selective absorption of tunable infrared radiation to achieve population inversion between rotational states and generate laser action. Various accessories are available including coolers, gas handling systems, stabilisers and more.
