Picosecond Ytterbium Fiber Laser: PicoFYb 1064

Ytterbium fiber laser based on SAM technology
1064 nm wavelength
20 MHz repetition rate
Typ. 6 ps pulse duration
Up to 15 mW

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.
