TLB-6900 Vortex™ II
Tunable Lasers
HIGHEST FREQUENCY
STABILITY AVAILABLE
Introducing the New Focus™ Vortex II laser for precision
applications. When frequency stability is the key to the success of your experiment, turn to the Vortex II for the confident
knowledge that you have the epitome of tunable single
mode laser design. We have taken three generations of our
award winning laser engineering, space qualification, and
OEM experience and added Star-Flex motion actuation and
patent-pending magnetic damping. The result is a laser whose
frequency stability is unsurpassed. Mechanical resonances
have been reduced so whether you are running open loop
or frequency locking the Vortex II you will obtain the highest
quality results available.
