Fiber Laser provides 0.5-5 W of output power.May 18, 2005 - Scorpion™ single-frequency laser operates over eye-safe wavelengths of 1,530–1,565 nm as well as near-infrared wavelengths from 1,030–1,085 nm. Master-oscillator, power-amplifier configuration boosts output while maintaining linewidth to less than 3 kHz. Output power emanates from polarization-preserving single-mode fiber. All-fiber design makes Scorpion immune to many environmental stressors. Unit is suited for sensing, LIDAR, metrology, and communication applications.

NP Photonics Offers High-Power, Single-Frequency Fiber Laser
5W Fiber Laser Ideal for Sensing, LIDAR, Metrology, Communications and General R & D
Tucson, AZ, April 29, 2005 - NP Photonics expands its line of industry-leading Scorpion(TM) single-frequency fiber lasers with the introduction of the Scorpion high-power laser. This latest innovation provides 0.5 to 5 watts of output power and operates over the eye-safe wavelengths of the C-band (1530 nm-1565 nm) as well as near-infrared wavelengths from 1030 nm to 1085 nm. The laser uses a master-oscillator, power-amplifier configuration that boosts output significantly while maintaining the narrow linewidth (<3 kHz) and low phase noise at the same level as its lower-power Scorpion products.
The all-fiber design makes the Scorpion high-power laser immune to many environmental stressors, practically eliminating coupling loss and drastically decreasing sensitivity to vibration and acoustics. The output power emanates from a polarization-preserving single-mode fiber and delivers a beam with excellent spatial mode properties and a high polarization extinction ratio. In addition, its unique design minimizes overall system heat and power consumption.
"At Photonics West in January 2005, we showed a prototype 2W fiber laser", said Philippe Brak, vp of sales & marketing for NP Photonics. "Based on strong customer interest, we increased our R & D efforts so that we can now offer up to 5 watts of output power."
These high-power lasers, ideal for sensing, LIDAR, metrology, telecom and general research and development applications, are available at a base price starting at $30,000 with delivery in 8 weeks.
Founded in 1998, NP Photonics is the originator of Erbium Micro Fiber (EMF) technology and is dedicated to the design, manufacture and marketing of compact, low-cost, intelligent fiber-based products for the sensing, medical and R & D markets. The company has developed a broad family of products based on its EMF including fiber lasers, ASE sources and fiber amplifiers.
