Pulsed fiber lasers for precise time-resolved applications
MPB Communications' pulsed fiber lasers offer short laser pulses, high repetition rates, and excellent beam quality for demanding applications in research, life sciences, and industry. The portfolio covers wavelengths from the visible range to the near-infrared and can be flexibly adapted to various requirements.
With Wavelengths from 514 to 1700 nm, pulse durations of 100 ps to 100 ns and refresh rates of 1 to 100 MHz a large parameter range is available for a wide variety of applications. Depending on the wavelength and repetition rate, average output powers of up to 20W possible.
High beam quality and flexible pulse parameters
The pulsed fiber lasers typically achieve a beam quality of M² < 1.1 and a polarization extinction ratio (PER) of >20 dB. This makes them particularly suitable for applications that require precise beam guidance and reproducible optical properties.
Important laser parameters can be configured according to the application. These include:
- Pulse duration
- Output power
- Repetition rate
- Trigger mode
The systems can be triggered internally or externally. MPB also offers customized configurations with different pulse durations and lower repetition rates.
Broad wavelength range from visible to NIR
The pulsed fiber lasers are based on rare-earth and Raman laser or amplifier technologies, thereby enabling an exceptionally large wavelength range.
Available systems cover the range of 514 to 1700 nm ab. This allows the lasers to be specifically tailored to spectroscopic transitions, fluorophores, or other application-specific wavelength requirements.
Operation and integration
The laser parameters can be adjusted via a graphical user interface. Among other things, the controllable features include Pulse duration, output power, repetition rate and trigger mode.
The compact and robust fiber laser design enables both use in research setups and integration into more complex optical systems. MPB also offers customized configurations for special requirements.
Typical applications
The pulsed fiber lasers from MPB Communications are suitable for, among other things:
