Buying Nanosecond Lasers

Helping our customers reach their research @ commercial goals for over 45 years

MPBC’s line of nanosecond pulsed fiber lasers have been designed to give users flexibility in their application refinement. With wavelengths from 514 nm to 1700 nm, and user-selectable pulse widths and repetition rates, these lasers put more options into the hands of the users than traditional lasers with fixed parameters. Externally triggerable models offer advanced controls.

Based on an all-fiber laser cavity, these lasers offer excellent beam quality and wall plug efficiency in a compact air-cooled laser package.

Advanced Tunable Lasers Open the Future of Measurement Technology

Spectra Quest Lab offers ns/ps tunable lasers and light sources in the 900-nm band and 1-μm band.

The tunable laser uses a CW narrow linewidth tunable laser as a seed source, and after nanosecond pulse generation with a pulsed SOA, the ns pulse is further amplified with a fiber amplifier to obtain a Fourier-limited linewidth pulse.

The tunable light source is a system in which broadband ASE light from a pulsed SOA is selected with a spectral width of 0.2 nm by a tunable filter and amplified by a fiber amplifier, making it cost-effective and simple configuration.

Both can output pulse widths of 1–10 ns and support repetition rates from single shot to 100 MHz on pulse on demand. External synchronization is easily achieved with electrical trigger input/output. Optionally, a picosecond pulse output can be obtained by passing a pulse shaper consisting of an LiNbO₃ modulator and an electric pulse generator before the fiber amplifier input.
