FemtoLux 3 is a modern femtosecond fiber laser aimed for both R&D use and industrial integration. Tunable pulse duration in a range of 300 fs – 5 ps, adjustable pulse repetition rate up to 5 MHz and adjustable pulse energy up to 3 μJ allows optimization of laser parameters for the desired application. These include marking and volume structuring of transparent materials, photopolymerization, biological imaging, nonlinear microscopy and many others. To expand the scope of applications even further this laser can be equipped with a second harmonics module.
