Rugged, ultrafast lasers


Picosecond, femtosecond and nanosecond lasers are now being used in a wide variety of applications from material processing to life science. The lasers are available in a number of wavelengths (513-1700nm) and repetition rates. As plug & play units they are suitable for OEM integration as well as lab experiments.

The Origami is an ultra-compact femtosecond laser that provides the lowest phase noise and timing jitter available on the market. This is useful for applications such as frequency comb, Thz generation or clock distribution. The Origami laser emits transform-limited, soliton pulses, provides diffraction-limited beam quality and excellent pointing stability. Origami is air-cooled and maintenance-free and guarantees high stability and low drift.

Lasers – Keep Safe


Ultrafast lasers are distinguished from others by their extremely high peak power and their highly precise and minimal invasive features in material processing and medical treatments. Therefore it is important to know which system can pose risks and ensure you are wearing the correct eye protection. Univet laser filters are certified according M-mode as described in EN207:2009 for laser pulses shorter that 10-9ns
 
There are a range of frames offering a wide choice of different styles and features. Excellent coverage and a great fit are the basis of laser glasses with features like side shields, superposition and the innovative Softpad system. Also available are laser windows, used primarily in industrial applications, which consist of the same materials used in the line of filters for glasses.
