The 300W Firefly laser is designed with PIV, particle sizing and spray pattern measurement in mind. It features a compact laser head with integrated adjustable optics to allow the thickness/throw of a light sheet to be controlled to match the system that you are imaging. The air-cooled head is fully splashproof (and a waterproof option is available, which can be submerged to allow measurements underwater).
Controllable
A simple front panel allows easy access to all device settings. The laser can also be controlled directly from a PC with the Firefly commander software (USB cable required) or via other software as part of an Oxford Lasers imaging system.
The Firefly laser is designed to fit seamlessly into any high-speed imaging system, regardless of the camera that is used. The laser can be triggered externally from a camera and will sync with analogue and digital cameras with ease. It also has an internal oscillator that will run up to the model's maximum frequency to allow the laser to act as the master clock.
Versatile
Variable pulse duration
0.5-100µs
Burst mode
Output 1-10 pulses per trigger signal with variable separation (ideal for PIV)
Programmable trigger delay
Correct for differing response times between different pieces of hardware
Internal oscillator
Control other devices from the laser
Upgradeable Waterproof case
IP66 case option
Fully adjustable focussing optics
Change settings without replacing lenses - just turn the focus knob!
Compact controller
The laser head measures just 70x125x200mm with tapped holes on most faces, which makes mounting simple and setup easy.
