MicroGreen™ Series
The Snake Creek Lasers MicroGreen™ Series is a diode-pumped solid-state laser packaged in a 5.6 mm diameter can--the world’s smallest microchip laser with 532 nm output. The MicroGreen is
available in three power ratings, all with near-diffraction limited output beam with less than 0.05% residual 1064 nm content. The alignment-free optical design is also both rugged and reliable; and its high optical-to-optical conversion efficiency allows the laser to be battery powered. Applications include tool alignment, machine vision, aiming guide, and the green color source in micro-displays.

MicroGreen™ APC Series
The Snake Lasers MicroGreen™ APC Series is a diode-pumped solid-state laser with an integrated photo detector, packaged in a 5.6 mm diameter can—the world’s smallest microchip laser with
532nm output. The MicroGreen™ APC delivers constant output power from below 4 and up to 8 mW TEM00 allowing maximum visibility of green laser light over more than 30° C of changes in ambient temperature. The alignment-free optical design is both rugged and reliable: and its high optical-to-optical conversion efficiency allows the laser to be battery operated. Applications include aiming, alignment, pointing or other dynamic applications.
Model Number: MicroGreen APC 15 / 05
Output Power: 5mW
Model Number: MicroGreen APC 15 / 08
Output Power: 8mW
Model Number: MicroGreen APC 50 / 30
Output Power: 30mW
MiniGreen™ Series
The Snake Creek Lasers MiniGreen™ Series is a diode-pumped solid-state laser packaged in a 9.0 mm diameter, and less than 1 cm3 can--the world’s highest power density (mW/cm3) 532nm microchip laser.
Snake Creek’s quest for miniaturization resulted in a mass-producible, alignment-free optical design with near-diffraction limited and high electrical-to-optical efficiency output beam with less than 0.5% residual 1064nm power content; also resulting in a DPSS laser with high-G force tolerance and inherent reliability.
Options include active power-stabilization, high polarization ratio, and screening service to select and identify the optimum condition for narrow or broad line-width operation. Applications for MicroGreen Series include excitation source for bio-fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy, metrology, semiconductor inspection, alignment, pointing, illumination, and the green color source in RGB displays.

MiniIR™ Series
The MiniIR™ laser is a new solid-state Snake Creek Lasers product developed in response to customer demand. The laser produces over 350 mW of CW 1064 nm output power in a diffraction-limited beam. This device can be used with standard Snake Creek Lasers heat sinks for 9.0 mm and Model PS-CW-1900 power supply. The output of this laser is circularly symmetric and can be collimated with simple spherical lenses. It competes favorably with ~ 1 micron diode lasers whose output is astigmatic and requires special optics to produce a semi-collimated beam. MiniIR Series is ideal for use in near-infrared illuminators, for performing 1064 nm gain experiments, and for laser system alignment.
Model Number: MiniIR 350
Output Power: > 350 mW
