New, powerful and compact solid-state lasers allow smaller equipment size, improved sensitivity, lower power consumption and lower life-cycle cost in a large variety of applications. Cobolt AB, Sweden is at the very forefront of this development. Our small and efficient DPSS lasers cover a broad spectral range and provide exceptional performance for today’s demanding applications.

Built on proprietary PPKTP technology, the Cobolt lasers combine high power and wavelength flexibility with very low noise (rms < 0.3%) and compact size.

The company’s range of single-lonitudinal mode CW lasers in the blue-yellow includes the wavelengths 355nm, 457nm, 473 nm, 491 nm, 515 nm, 532 nm, 561nm and 594 nm, and with a unique dual-line a 491+532 nm model. The company also offers Q-switched lasers at 1.5 ?m.

The innovative lasers are of excellent beam quality (M2 < 1.1), with output power up to 500mW and that in a ultra-robust design (HTCure™), hermetically sealed and of very good stabability.

There is a wide range of applications for high power, cw, visible, diode pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers, from the very topical laser induced fluorescence for bioanalysis, through advanced measurement technologies, such as Raman spectroscopy and holography, to laser displays as potential consumer devices.

The company operates out of a new facility just north of Stockholm city. The new building hosts Cobolt AB’s complete manufacturing line as well as R&D activities, internal sales force and management, which offers “an all in one – short decision structure”.

In the new facility, the company has built up a top-class clean-room factory, perfectly optimized for manufacturing and testing the high quality DPPS lasers – with a tripling of the production capacity.
