High Power Compact Visible Lasers: Oxxius Introduces New versions up to 1 W

Oxxius introduces high power compact visible lasers across three key wavelengths: green at 532 nm up to 800 mW, lime at 561 nm up to 500 mW, and red at 640 nm up to 1W CW. These new models combine increased output power with seamless system integration, while maintaining their proven monolithic design and outstanding TEM₀₀ beam quality.


New High Power Compact Visible Laser Performance Levels

Oxxius announces three new high power versions of its compact visible laser range, covering the most widely used wavelengths in life science instrumentation and optical measurement:

  • Green laser (532 nm): up to 800 mW CW
  • Lime laser (561 nm): up to 500 mW CW
  • Red laser (640 nm): up to 1W CW

These new power levels represent a significant step forward for applications that require higher photon flux: from super-resolution microscopy to high-throughput flow cytometry and advanced Raman spectroscopy.

Key benefits

All three new high power compact visible laser models are built on Oxxius’s proprietary monolithic resonator technology: the same patented, alignment-free architecture that has made Oxxius lasers the reference for optical instrumentation worldwide.

  • Excellent TEM₀₀ beam quality: M² < 1.1 across all models, ensuring diffraction-limited focusing for microscopy and spectroscopy
  • Single-frequency, mode-hop free versions available for demanding coherence applications including Raman spectroscopy, interferometry and holography
  • Integrated electronics for easy OEM system integration — no external driver required
  • Analog and TTL modulation for precise synchronization with cameras, scanners and acquisition systems
  • Compact footprint: same standard form factor as existing Oxxius laser modules, enabling direct drop-in upgrades

Applications: Life Sciences, Microscopy and Spectroscopy

These new high power compact visible laser levels open up new performance possibilities across a wide range of photonics applications:

Super-resolution microscopy (STORM, PALM, STED) — higher power levels enable faster acquisition and improved signal-to-noise ratio in demanding fluorescence imaging environments, reducing phototoxicity through shorter exposure times.

Raman spectroscopy — increased power at 532 nm improves sensitivity for trace chemical analysis and material characterization, particularly for weakly scattering samples.

Flow cytometry — the 561 nm lime laser at 500 mW CW is particularly suited to exciting PE, PE-Texas Red and PI fluorophores in high-throughput cell sorting systems, enabling more efficient multicolor panels.

Confocal microscopy — the red 640 nm line at 1W enables excitation of far-red fluorophores (Cy5, Alexa Fluor 647) with higher efficiency, supporting multi-channel imaging in core facility environments including BSL-2 and BSL-3 setups.

Holography and interferometry — the single-frequency, mode-hop free versions provide the long coherence length required for extended optical path applications in precision measurement and surface profiling.
