The StarFlex design ensures that the moving elements of the Vortex II laser offer the greatest possible stability in a dynamic mechanical system where vibrations on the order of nanometers can have detrimental effects. The novel, patent-pending magnetic damping also helps to reduce undesirable spurious vibrations.
‘The Vortex II laser is a truly innovative design and the result is a laser that offers exceptional stability,’ said Michael Radunsky, Product Line Manager for New Focus products. ‘Atomic spectroscopy is hugely demanding and requires the utmost precision in all components; we’re confident that the Vortex II laser more than meets those requirements. The Vortex II laser line is the product of several generations of ECDL technology experience, including space qualification, numerous design awards and patented technologies.
‘We believe the exceptional performance of the Vortex II laser will have significant impact on the market and applications in atomic spectroscopy.’
