High peak power fiber lasers for industrial processing Available to Purchase

We have recently developed a novel all-fiber-based laser source that operates at 1545 nm and generates nominally 1 ns pulses at all repetition rates between 10 kHz and 1 MHz, with a maximum pulse energy of 2.8 µJ at 10 kHz. This laser source was assembled using telecom-grade components with all beam propagation entirely in fiber with no mirrors. Specialty designed electronic boards were developed to generate short pulses and drive the fiber amplifiers. The amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) to signal ratio was measured to be about 7% at 10 kHz and below 1% at 100 kHz and higher. Therefore, the output from the fiber laser is an excellent seed source for further amplification in higher power fiber amplifiers. The use of fiber-optic components from the telecom industry, with Aculight’s small electronics, results in a compact, robust, and low-cost laser module.
