The Carmel X-series is a range of high power, air-cooled, fiber-based femtosecond lasers with output powers from 0.2 to greater than 2.5 W and pulse widths of less than 90 fs in the industry’s most compact, user-friendly package. The Carmel X1550 provides the perfect 1550 nm source for a wide range of ultrafast laser applications, including multiphoton microscopy, optical metrology, seeding ultrafast lasers, and micro-machining.
The system features a rack mountable controller with a robust armored cable interface to the compact laser head, which facilitates its incorporation into OEM designs. A simple key switch interface provides for manual operation with full remote access through computer control. The X-series includes the capability of remote data logging, power monitoring, and system diagnostics for OEM service support. The rugged design supports 24/7 operation with an expected lifetime of > 10,000 hours.
Repetition rates can be specified from 10 to 80 MHz with a pulse width of<90 fs and minimal pulse pedestal. the system offers exceptional beam quality (m2 <1.1) with excellent long term pulse-to-pulse stability (<1% rms) over a wide operating temperature range (17-30°c). an rf synchronization output is also provided as a trigger **.
