Fianium Introduces High-Energy Ultrafast Fiber Laser Range Enabling Precision Processing Of Diverse, Challenging Materials
Ultrafast fiber laser manufacturer Fianium introduces its versatile new FP1060-HE range. FP1060-HE lasers are based on a robust, reliable modelocked fiber laser generating high-energy ultrafast pulses with excellent beam quality and pointing stability in the most challenging of environments. Delivering pulse energies in excess of 10?J and pulse durations down to below 20ps, the flexible lasers enable superior processing of a diverse range of traditionally challenging materials including polymers, glasses, organic tissue and reflective metals.
The FP1060-HE laser platform is based on a modular design, offering flexibility for custom laser configurations within an industry standard 19" rack-mount laser chassis and compact remote optical head. The laser systems feature an external modulator allowing pulse repetition rates from single shot to 20MHz and enabling highly flexible pulse shaping and burst-mode operation.
Where required, Fianium is able to enhance FP1060-HE's peak power to greater than 5MW by compressing the pulses below 500fs. Optional frequency conversion to green or UV wavelengths further expand the laser's range of potential applications.
The FP1060-HE's combination of high peak powers and low duty cycle mean that cold processing of materials can be achieved with greatly reduced thermal effects such as melting and micro-cracking. The exceptional beam quality from the FP1060-HE lasers delivers unrivalled focusability for micromachining with the highest precision.
Colin Seaton, VP Sales & Marketing at Fianium comments: " The uniquely flexible pulse energy, pulse duration and repetition rates of the FP1060-HE range makes it perfectly suited to many diverse materials processing applications from tissue ablation to glass panel scribing. These lasers will unquestionably enable users to complete specific tasks quicker, better and more cost effectively than using conventional DPSS lasers, or other ultrafast laser on the market today. "
