Component Selection Guide The Spectra-Physics® VGEN/SPFL series of lasers deliver exceptional reliability and versatility for a wide range of applications. Housed in a robust assembly that meets industrial standards and fitted with a metal armored fiber cable, VGEN/SPFL lasers deliver a high quality, near diffraction-limited output beam. VGEN/SPFL’s solid construction is maintenance free and reliable, ensuring long-life operation at low operational cost. VGEN/SPFL series of pulsed green fiber lasers (532 nm) incorporate cutting edge technology to provide top performance for such precisionintensive applications as a solar cell, micro machining, silicon scribing, fine processing and thin film cutting. The VGEN/SPFL lasers are comprised of short-pulse, linearly polarized Ytterbium fiber lasers in MOPA configuration along with SHG (second harmonic generation) module, providing an output power of up to 40 W. VGEN/SPFL lasers offer a high pulse repetition rate (up to 1.5 MHz) combined with a very short pulse (tunable down to 3 ns) and high peak power which enable high system throughput for maximum operation efficiency. SPFL 532-40 pulsed green fiber lasers provide high power and pulse energy with versatile TimeShift™ programmable pulse capability for demanding manufacturing applications. The laser produces average output power >40 W and pulse energy >180 μJ at 520 nm, and with a near diffraction-limited output beam and excellent power stability, the laser delivers high quality and high throughput micromachining results. The laser’s TimeShift programmable pulse capability provides flexible burst mode operation with adjustable pulse widths, pulse separation and number of pulses in a burst. Pulse widths for single pulses or sub-pulses in a burst are adjustable from <3 to 50 ns. The SPFL 532-40 lasers offer additional flexibility with adjustable repetition rates from single shot up to 2 MHz. Recommended Optics & Optomechanics It is critical to choose the right optics and optomechanical components that work best with your VGEN/SPFL laser. VGEN/SPFL’s IR and green output power necessitates optics that have a high damage threshold. MKS Newport offers a wide selection of the highest quality optics and optical components covering the entire spectrum UV, VIS, NIR and IR wavelengths to help you with your most challenging applications. In addition, for more than 30 years, we have manufactured the world’s most comprehensive line of optical mounts and mechanics. Our precision optomechanics help our customers stay at the leading edge. MKS also offers LaserCleanTM components for low-contamination applications. Please use the following recommendations to determine which components best serve your needs.

Recommended Laser Measurement Sensors* For optimal application results, it is critical to ensure that the delivered laser power at the sample is precisely controlled. Laser power sensor is a detector that absorbs a laser beam and outputs a signal proportional to the beam's power. MKS Newport offers a wide selection of power sensors to accurately measure the VGEN laser power delivered to the sample. The specific type of sensor depends on the details of the laser beam being measured, including power level, spectral region, beam size, etc. * Other Newport display meters are available - please...

In addition to the average or instantaneous Watts or Joules of the laser beam, it is critical to understand how the power is spatially distributed in the cross-section of the beam. A beam profiler can help detect laser performance issues such as beam wander, jitter, divergence and astigmatism. MKS is the market leader with the largest installed base of laser beam profilers. With our unmatched accuracy, customizable layout, cutting edge R&D and global support system, we are ready to help our customers solve their most challenging problems.
