NL100 — 337 nm nitrogen laser
NL100 Nitrogen Laser
· 337 nm wavelength
· 170 µJ pulse energy
· Internal or external triggering to 20 Hz
· Replaceable laser cartridge
· No mirror alignment necessary
· TTL level sync output pulse (opt.)
· Fully compatible with VSL-337i OEM
The NL100 Nitrogen Laser is ideal for fluorescence
measurements, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers, and other
pulsed UV radiation experiments. It provides 3.5 ns pulses
at 337 nm (UV), with repetition rates up to 20 Hz. The pulse
energy is 170 µJ, which results in a peak power of 45 kW and
an average power of 3 mW.
The NL100 can be triggered internally or externally at rates
up to 20 Hz. It can also provide a sync output pulse (optional)
derived from the laser pulse for experiments or systems where
sub-nanosecond accuracy is critical. The user also has the
option of running the laser system in command charge mode.
The NL100 uses a replaceable, sealed laser cartridge which
includes the high voltage storage capacitors, switching
element, and laser tube. The cartridge is warranted to maintain
at least 70 ­ of its energy for twenty million pulses or one
%
year, whichever occurs first.
No mirror alignment is ever necessary in the NL100, as the
laser optics are mounted on the plasma tube and aligned at the
factory. The NL100 also includes all safety features necessary
to comply with the U.S. laser safety standards contained in
21 CFR 1040.10.
· NL100 ... $4750 (U.S. list)
The NL100 is fully compatible with the Spectra-Physics
model VSL-337i OEM Nitrogen Laser (part #337999-04). The
mechanical design of the NL100 includes all of the mounting
and alignment features of the VSL-337i, making the NL100 a
straightforward retrofit in many pre-existing systems.
