Based on an all-fiber design, MPBC’s all-fiber mode-locked picosecond laser (AFML) is highly reliable and maintenance-free. It delivers pulses through polarization-maintaining fiber, with a very broad spectral bandwidth exceeding 15 nm at FWHM. Our patented Figure-8 technology ensures reliable and consistent mode-locking, ideal for long-term stable operation in challenging environments.

Additionally, we have picosecond mode-locked fiber lasers which operate at 515 nm, 532 nm, and anywhere between 920-1080 nm. These lasers are ideal if a fast repetition rate (≤100 MHz) and a nearly transform-limited spectral bandwidth is required. Average output power varies from 2 to 3000 mW, depending on the configuration.

These lasers are designed to address a range of market applications including semiconductor inspection, micro-machining, metrology, bio-medical imaging, and can be used as a seed source for optical amplifiers, and second harmonic generation.

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.
