Picosecond lasers

We offer a wide range of ultrafast picosecond (ps) lasers for research (R&D) and laboratory applications, as well as for industrial integration as OEM solutions.

 

What can we say about picosecond lasers? Or, more specifically, about picoseconds.

I feel a bit sorry for them because they’re neither as robust and stable on the market as nanosecond lasers nor as fast and on everyone’s lips as femtosecond lasers. Someone might say they’re “neither fish nor fowl,” but let’s not be cruel—they have their own little charm and a good range of applications.

 

Picosecond lasers have become a key tool in industrial, medical, and scientific applications where high precision, a minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ), and “cold” ablation processes are required. Their ultrashort pulses (on the order of 10 to the minus 12) allow energy to be deposited faster than the material can dissipate it thermally, which drastically reduces melting, burrs, and collateral damage.

Some of their most relevant applications of these ultrafast lasers:

 

In the following table you can see our most common models of ultrafast picosecond pulsed lasers, with their maximum pulse energy and average power values for each emission wavelength.

		Nps	Lampo	Microchip
		LBS-NS	LBS-LO	LBS-MP
Pulse Energy  / Avg. Power (uJ/W, max)	0.7-3 um	custom tunable
	1064	- / 10	150 / 20	2 / 0.11
	532	- / 5	80 / 5	0.3/0.0165
	355	- / 1		avail.
	266		20 / 1	avail.
Rep. Rate		up to 80 MHz	0.05-40MHz	up 0.1MHz
Pulse	(1064nm)	<8 ps	<70 ps	<400 ps
Other		Line <100 pm	MOPA	Chip

 

These are bright solutions for ps laser applications, but they are not the only ones available.

Our picosecond lasers are not low cost but are economical, cost-effective models for their high performance.

 

We work with the laser expert CNI.

 

Here you can also see our picosecond (and femtosecond) supercontinuum (SC) lasers.

 

Don't forget that if you have or need a laser, you may very well need our PCL services:
- laser safety training
- laser safety consultancy

 

Or maybe our laser related products:
- laser protection products: goggles & helmets, windows, barriers, curtains, cabins, clothing
- Blink: laser power and energy meter, each pulse, for ultrafast laser up to 1 MHz
- Blueback: Spider based ultrafast laser pulse characterization
