Laser Diode Drivers

Photon Lines Ltd is an approved supplier of the Multiwave Photonics Compact Laser Diode Driver (cLDD), an all-in-one unit that incorporates a laser diode/SLED mount, a low-noise current driver and a TEC controller, all within a self-contained enclosure. The cLDD is PC controlled via a USB connection – no special laser-controllers and TEC cables are required. Find out more by visiting the Photon Lines website.

Optical Measurement Systems

Photon Lines supplies a range of NDT test equipment from Bossa Nova Technologies. These systems utilise the latest optical techniques to achieve unparalleled levels of performance. This includes the use of high frequency interferometry to detect surface vibration to picometre resolutions, as well as polarisation cameras to evaluate surface luster and shine. We also offer fiber-based profilometers for metrology, surface inspection, process control, film thickness measurement and profilometry in inhospitable environments and restricted spaces. These are manufactured by Novacam Technologies Inc., a world leader in optical measurement solutions.

• Laser ultrasonic receivers and vibrometers
• Polarisation camera
• Non contact optical sensors
• Non contact spectro-colorimeters
• Profilometers

Laser Measurement and Diagnostics

We offer a number of high quality laser beam profilers manufactured by Cinogy Technologies GmbH, a leader in laser measurement and diagnostics. Each profiler is adjusted to a specified intensity and wavelength range to suit your application. Laser beam profilers are ideal for real-time monitoring of CW and pulsed laser systems in scientific, industrial and R&D applications.
