Calmar Laser designs and manufactures advanced ultrafast fiber lasers and fiber amplifier solutions for industrial, research, and academic applications. All products are built in our Palo Alto facility under an ISO 9001:2008 environment, and as a member of CMTC’s Made in California program, we maintain full in house control of design, assembly, and testing.
Since 1996, Calmar Laser has been recognized as a reliable OEM partner and leading supplier for high speed test and measurement, optical communications, component characterization, material diagnostics, transmission studies, biomedicine, and micromachining. Our systems are known for stable, hands off operation—critical for both OEM integration and long term scientific use.
Calmar ultrafast fiber lasers generate clean sub 100 fs pulses with repetition rates from kHz to 40 GHz, average power up to 10 W, single pulse energies up to 20 µJ, and wavelengths spanning 515–1850 nm. Multiple packaging options allow each platform to balance size, weight, cost, and simplicity, enabling rapid, low effort integration into complex architectures.
Our Mendocino, Carmel X Series, and Eureka families deliver consistent, repeatable performance across demanding scientific and industrial environments. These platforms support a wide range of applications including multiphoton and two photon imaging, lidar and 3D imaging, terahertz sensing, biomedical and microfluidic systems, non destructive testing, high power R&D, 3D printing, and two photon polymerization.

The Carmel X-515 represents the latest member of the product family and provides the perfect 515 nm source for a wide range of ultrafast laser applications, including bio-imaging, multiphoton microscopy, optical metrology, 3D-microprinting, photopolymerization and ophthalmology. It is offered as both a scientific version with front panel controls and an OEM version controlled through an RS-232 interface.
