Lithium Six is a family of high-power lasers emitting femtosecond pulses. They are very compact and they embed laser head and controller in only one box. The solid-state technology guarantees low noise and soliton pulses with unbeatable spatial and temporal quality. The emitted pulses are transform-limited and short femtosecond pulses are delivered to the sample without the need of a pre-chirper. Lithium Six is available in two versions: with central wavelength in the near-IR region (Lithium Six 1050) and in the green one (Lithium Six 525).

HÜBNER Photonics offer diode-pumped solid state lasers in the Cobolt 04-01, 05-01 and 08-01 Series, as well as the Cobolt Skyra and C-WAVE. All our lasers are high performance with excellent wavelength stability and accuracy as well as power stability and very low noise.

Lumibird nanosecond Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers are well known for their ruggedness and versatility. From 5 mJ to 2.3 J at 1064 nm, from single pulse to 400 Hz, they can be diode-pumped (compactness, ease of use) or flashlamp-pumped (high energy), and are available at 532 nm, 355 nm, 266 nm and 1.5 µm. Double pulse models are also proposed for applications in fluid mechanics (PIV).

The Stuttgart Instruments Primus is an ultrafast (fs) mode-locked oscillator, based on the solid-state technology. It provides a high average output power combined with a superior low noise level (shot noise limit above 300 kHz) and an excellent long-term stability.

The solid-state technology with 1040 nm central wavelength enables the excellent long-term stability by providing several watts of output power at 40 MHz pulse repetition rate and 450 fs pulse duration. Its superior low noise level reaches the shot noise limit above 300 kHz. In combination with the stability and output power, it enables ultrasensitive measurements and makes the Primus perfectly suited as pump source for frequency converters like the Stuttgart Instruments Alpha. The entire system is encapsulated in a solid CNC-cut and water-cooled housing, thus reaching excellent robustness against external perturbations.

Lasers from Teem Photonics are all air-cooled diode-pumped solid-state lasers, which are passively Q-switched to generate sub-nanosecond pulses, and in some cases combined with a fiber amplifier. Due to nonlinear frequency converters, available emission wavelengths are 1535 nm, 1064 nm, 532 nm, 355 nm, 266 nm and 213 nm.

MegaWatt Lasers Inc. offers CTH:YAG and Er:YAG resonators. These are flash lamp pumped and water cooled. They are optimized for energy and repetition rate. The CTH:YAG resonator is able to generate 4-J pulses at a repetition rate of 10 Hz, while the Er:YAG resonator reaches 3 J at also 10 Hz. Both allow for adjustable pulse widths.
