High Power Femtosecond Lasers

The Carmel X-series (CFL) is a range of high power, air-cooled, 515 nm, 780 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm fiber-based femtosecond lasers with output powers from 0.2 to greater than 2.0 W. With pulse widths of less than 90 fs in a small user-friendly package, the X-series provides the perfect source for a wide range of ultrafast laser applications, including bio-imaging, multiphoton microscopy, optical metrology, 3D-microprinting, terahertz imaging and ophthalmology.

The system features a rack mountable controller with a robust armored cable interface to the compact laser head, which facilitates its incorporation into OEM designs. It is over 100 times smaller than many Ti:sapphire lasers with a similar output power level. A simple key switch interface provides for manual operation with full remote access through computer control. The X-series includes the capability of remote data logging, power monitoring, system diagnostics, and automated adjustments for prolonged lifetime and OEM service support.

Calmar Laser offers the Carmel high power femtosecond fiber lasers for a wide range of OEM, B2B, and scientific applications. They feature all air-cooled, rack mountable controllers for ease of integration into industrial platforms.

The Carmel series offers a very compact design with free-space delivery wavelengths of 515 nm, 780 nm, 1030 nm and 1550 nm, pulse widths as short as 90 fs and power levels up to 2.5 W.
