Products

Lambda Beam offers higher output power (up to 1 W) and advanced modulation capabilities, ideal for industrial integration and scientific research. Lambda Mini is an ultra-compact, USB-powered module designed for mobility and space-saving applications, providing excellent performance up to 75 mW.
Our laser modules are used in spectroscopy, measurement systems, biotechnology, machine vision, Raman spectroscopy, and other photonic applications requiring precision and stability.
Yes. Each laser includes Ltune, our free software for monitoring and controlling all essential parameters such as optical power, temperature, and emission status. Ltune also supports modulation control, firmware updates, and calibration.
Yes. Lasers can be calibrated to a desired output power (e.g., 200 mW). When powered on, the laser will operate at this preset value without requiring the software. If lower output is needed later, it can be adjusted using Ltune.
Yes. The preset output power will remain active after a power cycle. Any changes can be made later using the Ltune software.
Absolutely. Our modules can be controlled via a serial interface using almost any programming language. We provide sample code and a detailed communication protocol — no dedicated SDK is required.
The typical lifetime of our diode lasers is approximately 10,000 hours under standard operating conditions. Lifetime may vary depending on the model and usage.
Standard warranty covers 1 year. Extended warranty options are available for up to 2 years, depending on the customer's requirements.
In some applications, long fibers with low OH content or missing laser cleanup/short-pass filters in the optical setup may cause side-band signals. Adjusting fiber type/length or adding appropriate filters can mitigate this. For complex setups, we recommend sharing a schematic or photos of the optical path with our support team.

Rentals

Yes, we provide flexible monthly rental options for a variety of laser modules. Rentals are ideal for short-term projects, product evaluations, or research needs.
Rentals are charged per full month. The rental period begins when the laser is delivered and ends once it is returned to RGB Lasersystems. Extensions are possible upon request with at least 48 hours notice.
All shipping costs (delivery and return) are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Yes. If you decide to purchase the rented laser, the rental fees already paid will be fully deducted from the final purchase price.
Rental payments are made in advance and in full prior to the start of the rental period.
Yes. You may select and rent accessories alongside your laser module. Additional charges apply depending on the chosen accessories.

Orders & Delivery

Orders can be placed directly with our sales team at sales@rgb-photonics.com or through our online request form. If you are located outside Germany, you may also order via one of our official distributors. Once we receive your inquiry, our team will provide a detailed quotation along with the expected lead time.
Delivery times vary depending on product configuration and customization. Standard models are often available from stock, while customized modules may require additional lead time. Typical delivery for standard orders is around 3-4 weeks.
Yes, we ship worldwide. Our logistics partners ensure reliable and safe delivery of sensitive photonic components.
All lasers come with a compatible AC-DC converter for standard 230V AC, 50Hz systems. Specific power supply models are provided with the order.
Yes, discounts can be applied depending on order volume and ongoing offers. For example, special promotions may offer up to 20% discount.
