Where to Buy Mode-locked Fiber Lasers

Cycle offers finest femtosecond fiber lasers with emission wavelengths from 532 nm to 1700 nm. The SOPRANO-15 is meant for laser material processing and emits 300-fs pulses with variable repetition rates and up to 5 μJ at 1560 nm (optional: 780 nm). The SOPRANO-13/17 mini is a multi-wavelength femtosecond fiber laser which is simultaneously tunable around 1300 nm and 1700 nm. For more power, take the SOPRANO-13/17.

TOPTICA's FemtoFiber lasers provide reliable femto-/picosecond pulses based on polarization-maintaining fibers and SAM mode-locking. Different models (1560/780 nm, VIS/NIR tunable output, IR/NIR supercontinuum, short-pulse) cover a wide range of applications, e.g. time-domain terahertz, microscopy, attoscience and as seed lasers.

MPBC's high-power mode-locked femtosecond fiber lasers operate in the 920-nm, 1140-nm and 1190-nm spectral region – which is traditionally covered by ultrafast Ti:sapphire lasers and optical parametric oscillators. They generate linearly polarized nearly transformed-limited pulses with a pulse duration of 200 fs, at a repetition rate of 80 MHz and an average power of 1 W. Compact and maintenance-free, the lasers are fiber-based, have a very good beam profile, and do not require optical alignment.

MPBC’s mode-locked picosecond fiber lasers operate in the 1-µm or the 1.5-µm regime. Based on an all-fiber design, the MLFL is highly reliable (10,000 hrs) and maintenance-free. Laser emission wavelength, repetition rate, pulse width and output power can be customized to meet specific customer requirements with average output powers of up to 3000 mW, depending upon the configuration. To ensure an environmentally-stable linearly-polarized output and turnkey self-start operation, all components are made of polarization-maintaining fiber.

The MLL-100 generates sub-100 fs laser pulses at 100 and 200 MHz. Control inputs for cavity length and oscillator pump power allow control over f_opt and f_CEO, respectively.

The unique, completely passively cooled ultrafast fiber laser Aalto is perfectly suited for multiphoton applications like two-photon microscopy. The pulse durations below 50 fs lead to an increased signal-to-noise ratio and a better resolution and scan depth compared to longer pulses. The system contains of a dispersion pre-compensation module allowing the shortest pulse duration at your sample.

The ultrafast fiber laser Tidal is a high power version of the Aalto. A power level of >3 W and <50-fs pulses result in peak power values above 2 MW. The system is best suited for multiphoton applications like two-photon microscopy or high precision micro- and nano material processing. An integrated dispersion pre-compensation module allows the shortest pulse duration at your sample.

AdValue Photonics offers picosecond and femtosecond mode-locked fiber lasers emitting in the 2-μm spectral region:

• The AP-ML1 offers up to 10 kW peak power in <3-ps pulses with 20–40 MHz pulse repetition rate.
• The AP-ML2 generates 800-fs pulses with up to 10 μJ pulse energy and up to 500 kHz repetition rate.
• The AP-ML is a seed laser available with pulse durations between 350 fs and 950 fs. Repetition rates can be between 20 MHz and 50 MHz.

All those devices have a good output beam quality.

Menlo Systems' femtosecond fiber lasers based on Menlo figure 9® patented laser technology are unique in regard to user-friendliness and robustness. We offer solutions for scientific research as well as laser models engineered for OEM integration. From the shortest pulses to highest average power beyond 10 Watts and pulse energy beyond 10 μJ, we have the solution for your application ranging from basic research to industrial applications in spectroscopy, quality control, and material processing.

At FYLA we develop pulsed fiber lasers with pulse durations in the range of nanosecond, picosecond, and femtosecond. Our lasers are used in a lot of applications, from microscopy (as two-photon microscopy, SHG, SPIM, OCT) up to characterization of the semiconductors, providing a greater level of robustness, higher lifetimes, and a cost-effective solution.

Among its portfolio, Thorlabs manufactures several mode-locked femtosecond fiber laser systems, including stand-alone systems at 2 µm and 1550 nm as well as an all-fiber mid-IR supercontinuum laser driven by a mode-locked pump laser. These systems compliment our family of ultrafast lasers, amplifiers and specialized optics, including chirped mirrors, low GDD mirrors/beamsplitters, and dispersion compensating fiber.

NKT Photonics' passively mode-locked ultrafast fiber lasers exhibit a compact packaging and the lowest phase noise on the market. A special hybrid laser setup, consisting of state-of-the-art polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber technology and advanced dispersion control, allows for high pulse energy generation while supporting perfectly transform-limited soliton pulses without Kelly-sidebands, temporal pedestals, or satellite pulses. NKT Photonics lasers have been designed for high precision applications requiring long-term amplitude stability, low phase noise, and timing jitter, and 24/7 maintenance-free operation.
