FireFLY500 SNew, compact laser light source

The FireFLY500 S is one of our compact 500W lasers that has been designed for high speed back and front illumination applications in mind.

The flexible nature to the diode laser means it can be coupled with any monochrome camera making it a very versatile light source.

A diverse range of illumination options can be purchased with the laser, enabling the user to tailor the illumination with the application requirements.

With its robust housing and specific 808 nm wavelength the laser is ideally suited to providing greater insight into industrial processes such as welding and ballistics that are typically engulfed in large amounts of excess light.

The lasers flexibility enables it to be easily integrated into the VisiSize particle / droplet sizing configuration to provide a fully integrated high speed sizing system, providing insight into short transient events.

The laser can be triggered externally from a camera and will sync with high-speed 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.

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.
