Mid-IR Supercontinuum Fiber Laser comes in compact package.
Press Release Summary:
Offering users turnkey, ultra-broadband, IR source, SpectraChrome™ laser delivers supercontinuum spectrum from <1,000 nm to >4,500 nm. This quasi-continuous wave, 30 MHz system produces picosecond pulses suited for time-resolved metrology. Fiber-delivered output facilitates integration into any tool or research environment.
Original Press Release:
NP Photonics to Introduce Mid-IR Supercontinuum Laser at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2013
TUCSON, Ariz. – NP Photonics, Inc., a leading manufacturer of fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and specialty optical fiber, today announced that it will introduce a mid-infrared (IR) supercontinuum fiber laser, called the SpectraChrome™ laser, at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2013 from May 13-16, in Munich, Germany. The SpectraChrome laser is the first laser source to be launched from the company’s new family of mid-infrared products.
The SpectraChrome laser delivers a supercontinuum spectrum from <1000 nm to >4500 nm. This broad emission spectrum across the mid-IR represents a breakthrough in technology that offers users a turnkey, ultra-broadband, IR source in a compact, reliable package.
“The SpectraChrome laser emits in a particular part of the spectrum that is key in sensing and spectroscopy,” said Terry Hannon, president and CEO of NP Photonics. “Until now mid-IR lasers have been mostly discrete wavelength semiconductor devices or very expensive laser systems that include parametric oscillators with comparatively limited tunability. The SpectraChrome laser changes this paradigm and offers a flexible, cost-effective tool.”
The new SpectraChrome laser is a quasi-continuous wave 30 MHz system producing picosecond pulses ideal for time-resolved metrology. The fiber-delivered output allows for easy integration into any tool or research environment.
The LASER World of PHOTONICS exhibition will be held at the New Munich Trade Fair Center. Attendees can visit NP Photonics, Inc. at booth B1.459.
