ENGINEERED BY LASER QUANTUM

OPUS DPSS CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER SERIESMID POWER, LOW NOISE, COMPACT DPSSLASERS
Novanta develops photonics solutions specializing in cutting-edge
components and sub-systems for laser-based diagnostic, analytical,
micromachining and fine material processing applications. Powerfullasers, coupled with advanced beam steering and intelligent subsystems incorporating software and controls, deliver extreme
precision and performance, tailored to our customers’ demanding
applications.

PATENTED DESIGN
A highly versatile platform, the opus is characterized by a uniquecombination of high power, exceptional stability and compact size.
The opus patented design results in exceptional performance,
suppressing amplitude noise and delivering a highly stable output,
key features in eliminating false positives in semiconductor
inspection and particle counting applications and delivering reliable
and repeatable results where precision is essential.
Designed with the OEM integrator in mind the opus family features asmall form factor and high wall plug electrical efficiency, delivering
distinct benefits in thermal management, enabling the lasers tobe used in environments where water cooling is not permitted
or feasible. The rugged optomechanical design ensures systemlongevity, making the opus truly the laser of choice for highreliability, 24/7 system integrated applications.

OPUS DPSS CONTINUOUS WAVE LASER SERIESDIMENSIONS (mm)FLEXIBLE DESIGN
Customizable options available for your laser to optimize yourapplication.
• Fiber coupling: Available with multi or single mode fiber delivery
options which allows the beam to be delivered to the point ofneed.
• Intelligent control unit: Allows easy setting and monitoring ofthe laser parameters. Incorporating PowerLoQ™ technology, theopus lasers show extreme power stability over long periods of use(Fig 2).
• 1200 g drop-test: All opus lasers undergo a drop test to checkthat all components are correctly fitted prior to its extended
300 hour test period. This rigorous testing regime ensures long
operational lifetimes.
