The Unicorn™ fixed-wavelength laser is a stable source of light at a user-specified wavelength. High power, low frequency drift and a choice of wavelength make this laser an excellent source for imaging, illumination, LIDAR and DIAL, stand-off detection, OPO seeding, and detector calibration applications. The laser is factory set with an accuracy of better than 1 cm-1 and can operate in either a pulsed or cw mode. Nearly complete coverage in the 4 to 12 µm region is now available with high-power and excellent beam quality and stability.
