Picosecond Ytterbium Fiber Laser: PicoFYb 1030

Toptica PicoFYb 1030

  • Ytterbium fiber laser based on SAM technology
  • 1030 nm wavelength
  • 20 MHz repetition rate
  • 2 to 10 ps pulse duration
  • Up to 15 mW
  • Alignment-free all-fiber setup with telcordia proved components
  • Only polarization maintaining fiber components
  • No air or water cooling required
  • Robust and cost-effective design
  • Compact footprint and turnkey operation

The PicoFYb laser systems are fiber-based picosecond oscillators for seeding industrial laser systems, e.g. for micro-machining. The PicoFYb laser pulses with excellent amplitude and frequency jitter parameters are amplified to typical multi-Watt levels in the MOPA (master oscillator, power amplifier) laser or regenerative amplifier systems of our customers. Typical amplifiers are slab, rod and disc lasers operating in the 1 µm wavelength regions.
