Ahura Corporation Announces New Laser Product Line for Raman Spectroscopy.WILMINGTON, Mass. -- Ahura Corporation, a manufacturer of miniature optical subsystems for homeland security Noun 1. Homeland Security - the federal department that administers all matters relating to homeland security Department of Homeland Security executive department - a federal department in the executive branch of the government of the United States , life sciences and industrial applications announced details on a line of miniature high performance lasers for Raman Spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique used in condensed matter physics and chemistry to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system.[1] . Three miniature external cavity lasers were announced today. All three emphasize high wavelength and power stability, high efficiency and small footprint. --ECL-LSS-785-325 - This UL qualified multimode laser is in mass production and features up to 400mW of output power. The power is user adjustable. The laser is internally cooled by a TEC to assure stability. The unit features an FC connector A fiber-optic cable connector that uses a threaded plug and socket. For bi-directional transmission, two fiber cables and two FC connectors are generally used. FC is specified by the TIA as FOCIS-4. See fiber-optic connectors and FOCIS. for easy fiber coupling of the output light. The low power consumption and small footprint make it ideal for portable applications. --ECL-LSS-0.03-785-350 is a higher resolution version of the above laser with a typical FWHM FWHM Full Width at Half Maximum line width of 0.03nm. --ECL-LSS 0.03 785-100 SM is a high power single transverse mode A transverse mode of a beam of electromagnetic radiation is a particular intensity pattern of radiation measured in a plane perpendicular (i.e. transverse) to the propagation direction of the beam. laser featuring 100 mW of SM power, ideal for Raman microscopy Ahura is selling lasers to a number of customers and was selected above other laser manufacturers for their ability to reliably manufacture high performance lasers in a small, low power consumption subsystem. Ahura's founders have decades of experience meeting the quality and reliability standards of telecommunications networks. All components are precisely manufactured and rigorously tested to assure reliability in the field. Samples are available from inventory and production quantities are deliverable in less than 6 weeks. Ahura occupies a 30,000 square foot development and manufacturing facility in Wilmington, MA. The start-up is developing portable sensor technology based on their patented 'Optical Engines'. "Ahura's approach is fundamentally different from other companies in the optical subsystems field," said CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Dr. Daryoosh Vakhshoori. "Our 'optical engine' technology enables miniature high performance optical systems for a number of industries. We are confident that low cost, real-time, portable instruments will revolutionize data collection in the field as well as on the factory floor. Optical engines are the 'microprocessors' that enable this revolution. We will continue to push the technological envelop en·vel·op tr.v. en·vel·oped, en·vel·op·ing, en·vel·ops 1. To enclose or encase completely with or as if with a covering: "Accompanying the darkness, a stillness envelops the city" on product performance while moving quickly to transition novel designs into production." |
