iChrome CLE Compact 4-line laser combiner for easy integration

Some experiments simply ask for more than one color. The iChrome CLE integrates four perfectly matched laser lines in one compact unit, making multi color illumination feel surprisingly easy. As a flexible Laser Combiner and Multi-Line Laser for demanding applications, it combines the right wavelengths without making your setup more complicated. From microscopy and flow cytometry to DNA sequencing, scatterometry and ellipsometry, everything is delivered through a polarization maintaining single mode fiber.

Our standard configuration includes 405, 488, 561 and 640 nm with guaranteed fiber output powers from 20 to 80 mW, covering the fluorophores most commonly used in life science research. This makes the iChrome CLE a practical Multi-Wavelength Laser and Multi-Color Laser Engine for labs and OEM systems that need reliable performance across several wavelengths.

The real magic happens at 561 nm. Thanks to our proprietary FDDL technology, this wavelength finally behaves like a diode laser. That means fast modulation, excellent response times, low power consumption and true zero photon emission when switched off. You get all the advantages you would expect from a diode laser, now available at the wavelength where they matter most.

Research moves fast. Your laser should keep up. Thanks to COOLAC automatic alignment technology, the iChrome CLE restores optimal fiber coupling at the push of a button. No manual alignment. No lengthy interruptions. Just consistent performance, even after transport or maintenance. Integration is just as effortless. A unified user interface, RS232 and Ethernet connectivity, plus industry standard analog and digital interfaces make this Laser Light Engine feel right at home in existing microscopes and OEM systems alike.

The iChrome CLE is built for researchers who would rather think about cells than lasers. It delivers the reliability, stability and simplicity you need, so you can focus on your experiments, trust your data and enjoy the exciting part of science.
