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.
Model Number: MicroGreen 05
Output Power: 3 to < 5 mW (to conform to CDRH Class 3A requirements)
Model Number: MicroGreen 15
Output Power: > 15 mW
Model Number: MicroGreen 30
Output Power: > 30 mW

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
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 0.05% 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.
Model Number: MiniGreen 100
Output Power: > 100 mW
Model Number: MiniGreen 150
Output Power: > 150 mW
Model Number: MiniGreen 200

MiniGreen™ ETR Series
Our MiniGreen™ ETR Series
The Snake Creek Lasers MiniGreen™ ETR Series is a compact diode-pumped solid-state laser including PowerLock Option, a patent-pending technology for extended temperature range operation. Operation ranges exceeding 60 Kelvin with better than +/- 10 Kelvin temperature stability have been demonstrated. The world’s highest power density (mW/cm3) 532nm microchip laser is now also available as the world’s most temperature-insensitive DPSS laser!.
With ETR, this new and battery-compatible technology, stable laser output power at 532 nm is provided from below freezing to sunny desert conditions. Now, there is an OEM laser solution for instruments exposed to large changes in ambient temperature.
Options include high polarization ratio operation and other selection services. 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
