Description

Menlo Systems’ femtosecond Yb fiber-based laser sources now offer more than 10 W in average power with a pulse duration of <150 fs. Based on our unique figure 9^® design, the lasers offer reproducible and long-term stable operation. Both oscillator and amplifier use polarization maintaining (PM) fiber components only, ensuring excellent stability and low-noise operation. The second harmonic generation is a highly efficient module for maximum performance. The laser is maintenance free, user installed and ready to use at the press of a single button. Customize your laser with the available options to match the requirements of your application.
