Chromacity 520 Femtosecond Laser

Product information "Chromacity 520 Femtosecond Laser"

520 nm; Pulse Energy 20 nJ; Pulse Repetition Frequency 100 MHz; Pulse Duration <150 fs; Output Power ≤2 W

Chromacity 520 is a robust and reliable 520 nm fixed wavelength femtosecond laser source for biomedical imaging and semiconductor applications that delivers ultrashort-pulses with high average powers in the green.

Pumped by high-quality pulses from Chromacity’s 1040 nm laser Chromacity1040, second-harmonic light at 520 nm is efficiently generated with sub-150-fs pulse durations. This second harmonic generation (SHG) module can be coupled with the Chromacity 1040 to generate up to 2 W of average power. The compact housing enables simple system integration, and a fiber delivery option is also available.

The Chromacity 520 laser source does not require water cooling and comes with a simple user interface, making it one of the easiest and affordable laser sources to operate. Remote installation can be provided.

Tailored to your needs: The Chromacity 520 is engineered with a custom-designed and temperature-controlled baseplate, providing an unprecedented level of ruggedness and reliability for this type of laser architecture. Chromacity also offers a range of pulse repetition frequencies to meet your requirements, making this a laser source that can easily integrate into a number of different applications. Contact AMS Technologies for details!
