HANDHELD LASER SOURCE
|
|
Product Summary
The HLS-1 is a compact, rugged laser source designed specifically for portable applications.
It is extremely useful in laboratory and manufacturing environments as a general-purpose light source and,
when paired with an optical power meter such as the General Photonics HPM-1,
for checking the insertion loss of different optical components.
The HLS-1 can operate continuously for over 8 hours on a single charge,
and comes complete with a rubber protection frame, carrying case, rechargeable battery,
power supply, and FC, SC and ST adapters. Its bright yellow color ensures easy identification
in the field or in a messy laboratory environment. Each unit may contain up to three lasers
with wavelengths of 1550, 1480, 1310, or 850 nm. The laser output power can either be constant
(CW, or continuous wave mode), or modulated at a rate of 270Hz, 1 kHz, or 2 kHz (modulated mode).
The HLS-1 provides a low cost, reliable solution to your optical power requirements.
