RAPID RAPID

Industrial, High Repetition Rate Picosecond Laser

Applications: The RAPID series of picose cond lasers is designed for industrial micro processing; it offers a new level of precision and versatility.The RAPID series ps-lasers can ablate any material with minimum thermal side effects and with high precision. The lateral resolution is in the µm-range; depth control is about 10nm. The photo shows µm-structures produced of CuBe. Other applications include material research, wave guide writing, glass scribing and wel- ding; ps-spectroscopy, nonlinear optics like UV generation and OPO/OPG pumping, and ranging.
150 m CuBe micro structure Features: • 2.5 W average power at 500 kHz • 0-500 kHz repetition rate, programmable pulse sequences, pulse on demand • ps-pulses with up to 30 µJ energy, MW-range peak power, and high contrast versus background • high power stability in a high quality beam, M²<1.2 at all rep rates
Laser head on control unit Perfect beam quality at all PRF • compact mono-block laser head, sealed, temperature controlled • laser head isolated against optical feedback • internal closed loop chiller • intuitive software on industrial PC, interface and optional dll-software for external control • single phase mains electrical connection • easy integration into work station• low maintenance and low cost of ownership
