PHAROS features a mechanical and optical design optimized for industrial applications such as precise material processing. Compact size, an integrated thermal stabilization system, and sealed design allow PHAROS integration into machining workstations. normally requiring different classes of laser. Tunable parameters include pulse duration (190 fs – 20 ps), repetition rate (single pulse to 1 MHz), pulse energy (up to 2 mJ) and average power (up to 20 W). Its power level is sufficient for most material processing applications at high machining speeds. The built-in pulse picker allows convenient control of the laser output in pulse-on-demand mode. PHAROS compact and robust optomechanical design features stable laser operation across varying environments. RelaƟve spectral intensity, a.u. Laser diodes pumping Yb medium significantly reduces maintenance costs and provides a long laser lifetime.
