DESCRIPTION

At Spectra-Physics' facility they develop, manufacture and market high quality innovative laser systems for a wide range of industrial applications. The company's laser systems are the product of extensive experience and the cutting-edge know-how that their professional team has developed over many years. In the industrial field, the company develops and manufactures pulsed Ytterbium, Thulium, Erbium, Green and UV fiber-lasers for such applications as micromachining, fine processing and marking. The company's short pulse fiber lasers are also implemented in LIDAR and range-finding applications.

TECHNOLOGY

Spectra-Physics’ facility offers a series of high quality fiber laser products for industrial applications, including Ytterbium, Erbium, Thulium, Green and UV to cover a wide wavelength range in a pulsed and CW modes of operation.

The OEM ready lasers include TTL and RS232 control interfaces (for PC-application) to operate and tune the various laser parameters (output power, pulse energy, repetition rate and pulse width). The Lasers are housed in a robust assembly that meets industrial standards and a reinforced or armored fiber cable delivers the output beam. V-Gen also offers output collimators and focusers as optional units

Products and Phases

Product	Phase
IR Industrial Lasers	CE Approved
Wavelength: 1064nm, 1900-2100nm Up to 100 W avg. output power Up to 40 kW peak power Up to 1.5mJ pulse energy Tunable pulse width 1-300 nsec Near diffraction limited beam quality (M2)
LIDAR	CE Approved
An acronym for light detection and ranging, LIDAR is a remote sensing method that uses pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) and generates precise, 3D data. The key component of a quality LIDAR system is the laser source transmitting the beam. V-Gen’s LIDAR product lines incorporate state-of-the art technology for top performance in technically demanding LIDAR and range finding applications. Our unique short-pulse fiber lasers boast high peak power levels and repetition rates, narrow spectral properties, and excellent beam quality, enabling high-altitude mapping with increased resolution, precision, SNR, and scanning time in top-tier airborne or mobile LIDAR systems.
Green Fiber Lasers	CE Approved
V-Gen's Green pulsed series of fiber lasers (532nm) incorporate cutting-edge technology to provide top performance for precision-intensive applications such as micromachining, micro drilling, thin film processing, surface cleaning and stripping of plastics, ceramics and metals, glass processing and more. The pulsed Green lasers are comprised of short-pulse, linearly polarized Ytterbium fiber lasers in MOPA configuration with a second harmonic generation (SHG) module providing output power of up to 30W. For full and reliable system usage over a wide range of operations, the RS232/TTL control interface is designed for easy operation and precise tuning of various laser parameters — output power, pulse energy, peak power, repetition rate and pulse width. A high pulse repetition rate combined with very short pulse and high peak power enable high system throughput for maximum operation efficiency. Housed in a robust, industrial standard assembly, the Green pulsed laser series delivers a high quality, near diffraction-limited output beam. Solidly constructed, V-Gen's Green pulsed lasers provides clients with a reliable, maintenance-free system ensuring long-life operation at low operational cost.
