Carmel - Compact Fiber Based Femtosecond Laser (CFL)
The Carmel fiber based femtosecond lasers (CFL series) offers high power (500mW at 780nm), ultra-short pulses (<0.1 ps @ 50 MHz), and stable performance for industrial, scientific, biomedical applications at a fraction of the price, size, and cost of operation of traditional Ti:Sapphire laser systems.
The Carmel CFL-05RFF0 is a high power, 780 nm, air cooled, fiber based femtosecond laser with an ultra compact laser head, about 100 times smaller than many Ti:Sapphire lasers with a similar output power levels. It is an easy to use, rugged, industrial laser system.
The Carmel’s operation is based upon the company’s proprietary is a passively mode-locked fiber laser technology, utilizing a saturable absorber, to ensure reliable startup and stable long term performance, with hands free operation. The Carmel offers user-friendly front panel control knobs for flexible system adjustment. The pulse width is less than 100 fs with a negligible pedestal. The pulse energy is greater than 10 nJ. The repetition rate is 50 MHz with a polarization-maintaining (PM) output and excellent beam quality, with an M2 < 1.2. An RF synchronization output is provided as a trigger signal.
The Carmel high power, fiber based femtosecond lasers enable you to focus on the job at hand, and not the laser tool being used.
