Cobolt AB develop, manufacture, and supply high performance diode-pumped lasers and modulated laser diodes in the UV, visible, and near-infrared spectral ranges. The company's laser products are key enabling components in advanced analytical instrumentation equipment used in life science, process control, and industrial metrology applications. The customer base is highly international, consisting of leading instrument manufacturers and research labs worldwide.
Cobolt was founded in 2000 and has its headquarters in Solna, Sweden. Since December 2015, Cobolt AB is a fully owned subsidiary of the HÜBNER Group, a market- leading supplier of industrial mobility solutions for the transport industry recently branching into photonics.
Cobolt AB supply cutting-edge compact lasers with exceptional optical performance specifications and proven reliability and lifetime capability for OEM integration into analytical instrumentation for process control, biomedical research, clinical diagnosis, and industrial metrology, as well as for scientific research. Applications within these markets include Raman spectroscopy, interferometry, particle analysis, laser Doppler velocimetry, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, LIBS, laser ultrasonics, and trace gas analysis.
Cobolt lasers are all high performance lasers, typically with single frequency performance, excellent power stability, perfect beams, and very low noise. All Cobolt lasers are manufactured using proprietary HTCure™ technology and the resulting compact hermetically sealed package provides a very high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions along with exceptional reliability. Lasers built using the HTCure™ technology have been shown to withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks in operation without any sign of degraded performance. With demonstrated lifetime capability of >60,000 hours and thousands of installed units in the field, HTCure™ has proven to be one of the most reliable methods for making industrial-grade lasers and is reflected with market leading warranty terms.
Our head office is located in Stockholm, Sweden, where all production, R&D, administration, and sales is conducted in a top-modern facility, including a >700 m2 clean room environment.

New Spectroscopic Techniques Offer Breakthrough in Analyzing Ancient Chinese Wall Paintings
October 29th 2024This new study examines how spectroscopic techniques, such as attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, were used to analyze the pigments in ancient Chinese wall paintings.
Breaking Spectral Boundaries: New Ultrafast Spectrometer Expands Detection Range for NIR Studies
October 29th 2024A team from Auburn University has developed an innovative ultrabroadband near-infrared (NIR) transient absorption (TA) spectrometer capable of detecting across a wide spectral range of 900–2350 nm in a single experiment. This advancement improves the study of ultrafast processes in low-bandgap materials and opens doors to new insights in photochemistry and charge dynamics.
FT-NIR and Raman Spectroscopic Methods Enhance Food Quality Control
October 28th 2024A recent study showcases the potential of Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy and spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) in detecting raw material defects in hazelnuts caused by improper storage conditions. FT-NIR spectroscopy proved especially effective, while SORS offered complementary insights in certain scenarios. These spectroscopic methods could modernize the speed and accuracy of hazelnut inspections in the food industry.
