Ekspla: New industrial picosecond laser Atlantic models feature higher average power and longer lifetime

Ekspla has updated its industrial picosecond laserline. The updated Atlantic line features industrial laser models with higher average power and prolonged lifetime for UV versions. To ensure simple model navigation, all Atlantic series products have been rearranged into three groups according to output wavelength: Atlantic IR, Atlantic VIS and Atlantic UV series.

Dedicated for heavy-duty real industry applications, Atlantic UV models feature third harmonics – up to 355 nm output wavelength, and cover versions from 1W up to 30 W output power. Due to the redesign of harmonics module, stress on optical components is reduced, resulting in longer lifetime and lower short time thermal effects for perfect beam quality at various operation conditions. For easy and fast UV optics replacement, the Atlantic UV series model has a single wavelength output.

Widely tunable pulse repetition rate 20 kHz – 40 MHz makes it an excellent choice for non-linear microscopy, time-resolved spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, ultrafast metrology applications. FP200 model is available with second harmonic option (532 nm). Read more. 

Ekspla SL212 Series SBS Compressed Picosecond Nd:YAG Lasers

Ekspla's  SL212 laser is excellent solution for applications, where high energy picosecond pulses are needed. In contrary to conventional mode-locked lasers the SL212 series lasers use different method of generating short pulses based on backward-stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Diode pumped passive Q-switched single longitudinal mode (SLM) nanosecond generator is the heart of the system. It provides nanosecond optical pulse that is later compressed during SBS in a special cell.

Ekspla PL2210 Series Diode Pumped Picosecond kHz Pulsed Nd:YAG Lasers

Ekspla's PL2210 series diode-pumped, air-cooled, mode-locked Nd:YAG lasers provide picosecond pulses at a kilohertz pulse repetition rate.
Short pulse duration, excellent pulse-to-pulse stability, superior beam quality makes PL2210 series diode pumped picosecond lasers well suited for many applications, including material processing, time-resolved spectroscopy, optical parametric generator pumping, and other tasks.

Ekspla SL330 Series SBS Compressed Picosecond Nd:YAG Lasers

Ekspla's SL300 series lasersare an excellent solution for applications that require high energy picosecond pulses. Pulse compression during backward‑stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), used in EKSPLA SL300 series lasers, is a simple and cost‑efficient way to generate picosecond pulses, with the unique capability of producing pulses with tunable duration.

Ekspla SL230 Series SBS Compressed Picosecond Nd:YAG Lasers

Ekspla's  SL 230 series lasers are excellent solution for applications, where high energy picosecond pulses are needed. Not like conventional mode-locked lasers that typically uses saturable nonlinear absorption or Kerr lensing to produce ultrafast pulses, the SL230 series lasers employ backwardstimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in liquid for the same purpose.

Ekspla PL3140 Series Picosecond Nd:YLF Lasers

Ekspla Nd:YLF mode-locked PL3143 series picosecond lasers produces high energy pulses with as short as 10 ps pulse duration.

Rugged and Reliable Design

Diode pumped mode-locked quasi‑CW master oscillator produces the train of the pulses that is guided to the regenerative amplifier for further amplification. The single pulse is cavity‑dumped from regenerative amplifier and then amplified by linear amplifiers to up to 80 mJ pulse energy. The output pulse energy can be adjusted in approximately 1 % steps from 1 mJ to nominal output, at the same time pulse-to-pulse energy stability remains less than 1.5 % rms at 1053 nm.

Ekspla PL2250 Series Flashlamp Pumped Picosecond Nd:YAG Lasers

Ekspla's PL2250 series lasers set a new standard in high pulse energy picosecond lasers. Their innovative and cost-effective design improves laser reliability and reduces running and maintenance costs.

Innovative Design

The heart of the system is a diode pumped solid state (DPSS) master oscillator placed in a hermetically sealed monolithic block. The flashlamp pumped regenerative amplifier is replaced by an innovative diode pumped regenerative amplifier. Diode pumping results in negligible thermal lensing, which allows operation of the regenerative amplifier at variable repetition rates, as well as improved long-term stability and maintenance-free operation.

Ekspla PL2230 series high energy full DPSS mode-locked Nd:YAG lasers

Ekspla is proud to introduce the PL2230 Series, the first commercial fully diode pumped high pulse energy mode-locked laser, producing 28 ps pulses with up to 35 mJ (50 mJ preliminary) at 50 Hz pulse repetition rate.
