StaxxBeam 553 nm (fixed power)

LCX-553S (fixed power)

The StaxxBeam 553 is a compact and powerful 553 nm laser source that delivers a narrow linewidth emission and a spectrum of outstanding purity. Its robust design, complete with readily available safety features makes it well-suited for both laboratory and industrial use.
Its proven performance, stability, and versatility make it a trusted solution for laser Doppler anemometry, interferometry, structured illumination microscopy.

Key features:
• Single frequency emission, ≤ 1 MHz linewidth
• ≤ 1pm wavelength stability
• TEM₀₀ spatial mode
• ±1.0% long-term power stability; low optical noise
• Integrated control electronics

Fully compatible with Oxxius’ AOM option, or with MixxWave combiners, in combination with other laser lines.
