Abstract

We have developed a novel small SmartLaser^TM plug and play laser module that can be employed to house and power most CW semiconductor diode lasers and small TO type diode-pumped solid-state lasers offered by Advanced Photonic Sciences (APS). These include blue, visible, and near-infrared diode lasers operating from 404 nm to 980 nm, and TO solid-state devices producing output at 532 nm, 1064 nm, and 1535 nm. The innovative laser, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering efforts have resulted in the first smart laser micro-module. This is powered by a simple USB and is fully connected to the internet through a dongle that incorporates a Radio Frequency (RF) link, Analog to Digital converters (ADC), and live-streamed output. A new APS website is also demonstrated, showing the ability to monitor laser performance from any location and at any time. We believe that this new product is the first to offer full internet connectivity, and the ability to remotely monitor laser behavior. Applications of this new plug and play and monitor device are many and include remote monitoring of experiments utilizing lasers in universities and other laboratories, hazardous or environmental unfriendly locations, while traveling, as well as documentation of laser output power in situations involving eye-safety.
