Curious about the Hedgehog's potential? The Hedgehog Mid-IR Laser offers a unique combination of speed, power, and versatility. Need high-speed tuning and top-notch performance? This laser is ideal for research and development. Get ready to experience unmatched spectral precision.
The Hedgehog™ Mid-IR Laser will revolutionize how you approach your work! Using External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser™ technology, the laser is a complete solution that delivers speed and precision. The Hedgehog provides the most advantages, and is designed with an alignment-free design that makes the work easier. The broad mid-IR tuning allows for probing multiple molecules, or probing an absorption feature with high dynamic range, this is especially beneficial to molecular spectroscopy applications. You'll get impressive performance: fast tuning up to 5000 cm-1/s, output power up to 1 W, and TEM00 beam quality. Plus, the alignment-free design and software make it easy to use!
The system features an alignment-free design and includes a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI) and software development kit (SDK) as standard.
Whether you're in a lab or need an OEM solution, the Hedgehog Laser combines performance and ease of use, ensuring you get the most out of your experiments.
