New multi-wavelength laser light engine combines industry-leading stability, power control, and modularity to help OEMs accelerate innovation and improve imaging performance<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

BEDFORD, MA (August 19, 2026)<\/strong> \u2013 Novanta, a trusted technology partner to leading OEMs in the life sciences and advanced technology markets, today announced the availability of FUSIONultra, a configurable multi-wavelength laser light engine platform engineered to deliver stable, high-performance illumination for advanced imaging, analytical, and bioinstrumentation systems. FUSIONultra combines high power, ultra-stable operation, precise modulation, and flexible configuration options in a single OEM-ready platform designed to simplify integration while advancing instrument performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As life science applications continue to demand higher throughput, greater sensitivity, and more reliable data, illumination performance has become a key determinant of instrument analytical performance, throughput, and data quality. Researchers increasingly rely on advanced fluorescence imaging and analytical systems to generate the high-quality data needed to accelerate scientific discovery, improve diagnostics, and support the development of next-generation therapies. FUSIONultra addresses these challenges through a modular architecture that enables OEMs to tailor wavelength combinations, power levels, beam delivery, and integrated optical features to meet specific application requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today’s life science innovators need more than a light source. They need an illumination platform that enables better data quality, faster acquisition speeds, and greater confidence in system performance,” said Konstantinos Sarglou, Director of Product Line Management. “FUSIONultra was designed to transform illumination from a supporting component into a competitive advantage, helping OEMs accelerate development while delivering the performance their customers demand.”<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Built around Novanta’s proprietary ULTRALOQ\u2122 technology, FUSIONultra maintains exceptional laser stability across changing environmental conditions, reducing drift, minimizing downtime, and ensuring reliable operation over the lifetime of the instrument. The platform integrates both high-performance DPSS and diode laser technologies within a configurable architecture that can support multiple laser lines, enabling customers to optimize performance for a wide range of fluorescence imaging and analytical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
