Pulse duration can be tuned in a range of 290 fs – 10 ps. Excellent power stability of <0.5 % RMS is standard. The laser output can be split into a burst of several pulses of pico- and nano- separation while having the ability to modify the burst envelope. Harmonic generator options permit femtosecond applications at different wavelengths. The parameters are entirely software adjustable. CARBIDE femtosecond lasers feature an output power of >80 W at 1030 nm wavelength. The laser emits pure pulses with ASE background of <10⁻⁹ and recently updated maximum energy specifications without compromises to the beam quality, industrial grade reliability and beam stability regardless of environmental conditions. Continuously tunable repetition rate in a range of 60 kHz to 2 MHz is combined with an in-built Pulse Picker for output pulse timing and full-scale energy control with <10 microsecond response time, enabling Pulse duration (Gaussian fit) = 230 fs AUTOCORRELATORS | SPECTROMETERS | OPTICAL PARAMETRIC AMPLIFIERS | HARMONICS GENERATORS | OSCILLATORS | ULTRAFAST LASERS Femtosecond Lasers for Industry and Science Typical beam profile of CARBIDE-CB5. 60 kHz, 5 W Typical spectrum of CARBIDE laser Long term power stability of CARBIDE-CB5 Relative spectral intensity, a.u.

Tunable GHz and MHz burst with burst-in-burst capability PHAROS and CARBIDE 40W (CB3) have an option for tunable GHz and MHz burst with burst-in-burst capability – called BiBurst. The distance between burst packet groups is called nanosecond burst, N (MHz-Burst). The distance between sub‑pulses in the group is called picosecond burst, P (GHz‑Burst). High pulse energy femtosecond lasers PHAROS and CARBIDE with flexible BiBurst functionality bring new production capabilities to high-tech manufacturing industries such as consumer electronics, integrated photonic chip manufacturing, stent...
