Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

encyclopedia article mode-locked fiber lasers fiber lasers mode-locked lasers femtosecond lasers high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers fiber lasers versus bulk lasers "Modeling of Pulse Amplification" New Scientific Paper: Timing Jitter and Phase Noise of Mode-locked Fiber Lasers Ultrafast Fiber Lasers: Re-Inventing Mode Locking

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying mode-locked fiber lasers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for mode-locked fiber lasers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

mode-locked fiber lasers

The VALO Series of ultrafast fiber lasers are unique in their design offering about the shortest femtosecond pulses and highest peak powers which can be obtained from a compact turn-key solution. Pulse durations of <50 fs are achieved using novel fiber laser based technology. The ultrashort pulse durations combined with computer controlled group velocity dispersion pre-compensation, allow users of the VALO lasers to achieve the highest peak power exactly where its needed, which makes the lasers ideal for use in multiphoton imaging, advanced spectroscopy and many other applications.

  • <50 fs pulse duration
  • up to 2 W output power
  • very low noise
  • integrated pre-compensation dispersion module

Cycle supplies fiber-based systems with unique features and affordable prices:

  • Cycle’s SONATA is a SESAM-free, all-PM, low-noise fiber laser with high environmental stability. It provides a dual fiber/free-space outputs at 1030 nm with clean and low-noise pulses. A chirped picosecond pulse is coming from fiber port for amplification and a second compressed free-space output allows detection and stabilization – ideal for ultrafast applications, amplifier seeding, and nonlinear microscopy. With optics and electronics integrated into a single compact unit, SONATA ensures a seamless, plug-and-play experience.
  • The SOPRANO-CA is designed to carry out tasks such as multiphoton microscopy, spectroscopy, semiconductor testing and materials analysis. In addition to its low relative intensity noise, reliability and clean pulse shape, the SOPRANO-CA operates at a center wavelength of 1560 nm and typical pulse duration below 150 fs, establishing benefits in both industrial and scientific environments.
