Solid-State & Stabilized CW Lasers
Stable Light. Repeatable Performance.
Many optical applications depend not only on laser power, but on how reliably that performance can be maintained over time.
Solid-state and stabilized continuous-wave lasers provide precise, continuous optical output for scientific, analytical, industrial and OEM applications where wavelength, power, beam quality and long-term stability matter.
What Does Your Application Require?
Stability Starts with the Right Laser
The best CW laser is not necessarily the one with the highest output power. The right source depends on which optical parameters determine the performance of your application.
Wavelength
Select the wavelength that matches the material, measurement, fluorophore or optical process.
Optical Power
Match the output to the application without overspecifying the system.
Beam Characteristics
Consider beam quality and whether single-mode or multi-mode operation is required.
Stability
Determine whether power, wavelength or other parameters need active stabilization.
Integration
Consider size, environmental conditions, interfaces and free-space or fiber delivery early in the system design.
When Stability Matters
Stabilized laser systems can actively control parameters such as optical power, wavelength and temperature to maintain repeatable performance.
For spectroscopy, metrology and other precision measurements, long-term stability can be more important than maximum headline specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need active wavelength or power stabilization?
Applications such as spectroscopy and metrology often benefit from active stabilization to maintain repeatable performance over time. Our experts help evaluate whether your application requires it.
What is the difference between single-mode and multi-mode operation?
Single-mode operation provides a well-defined beam profile suited to precision applications, while multi-mode operation can deliver higher power where beam quality is less critical. The right choice depends on your application.
Can CW lasers be integrated into OEM systems?
Yes. Size, environmental conditions, interfaces and free-space or fiber delivery can all be considered early in the system design to support OEM integration.
