Spin One is founded on 25 years of experience in the development of electronic and laser products for the OEM. We have applied our expertise to the whole gamut of product development tasks, ranging from simple consultation on solving problems related to laser lifetime, to the complete design of turnkey lasers. Our projects have included:

• CW Broadband, CW Single-Frequency and Mode-locked Ti:Sapphire Lasers
  Our Senior Scientist (Dr. Anthony Alfrey) was the principal engineer on the development of the Model 3900 Ti:Sapphire laser introduced by Spectra Physics nearly 20 years ago. This robust design remains essentially unchanged to this day. See it here.
• Air-Cooled, Diode-Pumped Nd:YAG Laser
  Providing the fundamental, second and third harmonics, this complete laser system is used for low-cost micromachining. See a CAD view here.
• High Rep-Rate Tripled Nd:Vanadate Laser
  This robust, high-average power laser was designed for stereolithography, an application requiring extended hands-off, maintennance-free operation.  See a CAD view here.
• Diode-Pumped Tm:Ho:YAG Laser
  This fiber-coupled (pump and output) CW, 2.1 micron laser was designed for laser vision correction.
• Electronic Subassemblies
  Drivers for diode lasers, thermoelectric coolers and A.O and E.O. Q-switches, and oven controllers for non-linear optical crystals are some of the subsystems we have designed for our clients.

We now offer these new OEM design services:

• Thermoelectric cooler arrays and companion closed-loop heat exchanger design.
  Let us handle your next laser diode cooling project, saving your valuable in-house resources for your core design issues. We will be happy to bid on a full range of project sizes, from simple consultation on a discrete design problem, to a complete turnkey system. We "Design For Production" so you can be confident that our product will fit seamlessly into your manufacturing environment.

• OEM versions of our Model 3001 TEC Driver.
  Considerable cost savings are possible in a production-quantity unit that does not require a sophisticated display or a consumer-grade enclosure. Please call (1-650-851-2337) or e-mail our engineering department (engineering@spin1.com) to discuss your particular design requirements.
