The Mendocino series is a range of passively mode-locked ultrafast fiber lasers (FPL) that reliably generate pulses from sub 100 femtosecond to ten's of picoseonds at megahertz repetition rates. Available as an OEM module or desktop version, the product family provides a wide choice of wavelength options from 780 to 1565 nm, with new offerings now available at850, 920, 960,1310nm and a special10 ps, 1030 or 1064nm source for seeding high power picosecond lasers used in glass cutting and consumer electronics manufacturing. In addition, a battery-powered,1550 nm, eye-safe modulehas been specifically developed for optical communications and high resolution LIDAR and 3D sensing applications.
Mendocino lasers are often used as a high quality femtosecond fiber seed source for higher energy laser systems. They are passively mode-locked utilizing a proprietary saturable absorber that has been developed and perfected over a twenty-year period to deliver excellent stability and reliability, with hands free operation.
