ANx PicoOne/PicoMega Series Amplified Microchip DPSS Lasers
266, 355, 532, 1064 nm; Output Energy >1, >10, >25 µJ; Repetition Rate >70, 100, 150 kHz; Peak Power >6, >15, >38 kW; Pulse Width <0.65, <0.17 ns Teem Photonics’ ANx PicoOne and PicoMega amplified DPSS laser series is based on a microchip seeder and an efficient MOFA (Master Oscillator Fiber Amplifier) amplification stage. These lasers produce 650 or even 170 ps pulses at frequencies in excess of 100 kHz with a peak power exceeding 38 kW at 1064 nm. The laser operates with a single emission frequency. The Passively Q-switched (PQS) microchip laser technology and fiber amplification brought together with this laser series offers full control over the pulse energy (or peak power) while leaving unchanged the pulse width and pulse shape. Other seeders may also be used if different characteristics are required. The ANP-20E PicoOne amplified laser produces pulses of 1064 nm light with a nearly Gaussian beam output and an average power reaching 1.75 W, while the ANG-10E PicoOne amplified laser produces pulses of 532 nm light with an average power reaching 700 mW. Variants with 355 nm and 266 nm output are available on request, please contact AMS Technologies for detailed performance. Using the same platform as the PicoOne Series, the ANG-150P-000 PicoMega amplified laser brings passive Q-switching to a new realm. It generates ultra-short pulses (down to 120 ps) at repetition rates reaching 150 kHz. From LIDAR to high-throughput processing – in applications where ultra-short pulse width is a “must”, the PicoMega laser has a low cost of ownership compared to more complex ps lasers. It can be used as a seeder in applications where still higher power is needed. Key Features: Wavelengths: 266, 355, 532, 1064 nm Ultra-short Pulses, Pulse Width Down to Below 170 ps @100 kHz Peak Power: Up to >38 kW at 1064 nm (>15 kW at 532 nm) Excellent Beam Quality: Beam Profile Gaussian TEM00, M²<1.2, <1.3 Efficient, Air-cooled Sealed Package, Long Life Output Energy: >1 µJ, >10 µJ, >25 µJ Repetition Rate: Up to 150 kHz Applications: Micromachining; Material Processing; Selective Ablation of µm to nm Scale Layers; PCB Repair; Seeder for High-power Amplification; Instrumentation and LIDAR; (Time Gated) Raman Spectroscopy; Supercontinuum Generation; Ranging; Biophotonics; Dense Tissue Ablation

TETRA DPSS Lasers
4 wavelengths, pulse-by-pulse selectable at 2 kHz; 532/555/579/606 nm; pulse width <5 ns; 20 µJ per wavelength (606 nm: 10 µJ); M² <1.3; circular beam; single collinear output; sweep mode; RS232 control; external triggerThe TETRA tunable DPSS laser from Elforlight, an AMS Technologies company, emits visible pulses at 532 nm, 555 nm, 579 nm and 606 nm and switches between these wavelengths from one pulse to the next. With a total repetition rate of 2 kHz, pulse widths below 5 ns and pulse energies of up to 20 µJ, it was developed for life science applications that require fast multispectral excitation.Starting from a 532 nm laser, TETRA generates the additional wavelengths using the Raman effect. An optical filter separates the four wavelengths and routes one at a time onto a single collinear output, with a switching frequency in the kilohertz range. This is ten times faster than typical OPO-based tunable lasers, which operate at 100 Hz to 200 Hz, and TETRA is also considerably more cost-effective.The wavelengths are well matched to the absorption curves of many blood components, making TETRA particularly suitable for multispectral photoacoustic tomography. Absorption at four wavelengths can be measured quasi-simultaneously at each pixel at a comparable frame rate, avoiding artifacts from sequential single-wavelength scans, while the short pulses generate higher-frequency ultrasound signals for better spatial resolution.The system is split into two units: a power supply unit with the electronics and pump laser diode, fiber-coupled to a separate laser head. This keeps heat away from the laser head and allows the pump diode to be replaced at end of life without affecting laser head alignment.Key featuresFour visible wavelengths: 532 nm, 555 nm, 579 nm and 606 nmPulse-by-pulse wavelength selection at 2 kHz total repetition rate (e.g. 500 Hz per wavelength with four wavelengths)Pulse energy of 20 µJ per wavelength (10 µJ at 606 nm); pulse width <5 nsPulse-to-pulse stability <10% for subsequent pulses of the same wavelengthBeam quality close to TEM00, M² <1.3, circular profile; capable of launch into multimode optical fibreSweep mode with user-definable wavelength order and user-selectable number of wavelengths per sweepExternal pulse trigger option (5 V input); RS232 control for laser on/off, energy, sweep wavelengths and emission enable/disableTwo-unit design with fiber-coupled pump diode for reduced thermal load on the laser head and easy diode replacementSafety features for clinical environments: redundant interlock, warning outputs and fast, fault-tolerant output shutterPower supply 110 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, approx. 200 WAlternative wavelengths on request: 532 nm, 559 nm, 588 nm, 621 nm and infrared variants around 1200 nmApplicationsMultispectral photoacoustic tomography in biomedicineLife science applications requiring fast switching between visible excitation wavelengthsClinical imaging systems subject to medical safety requirementsFiber-delivered pulsed excitation via multimode optical fibreCustomer-specific variants with different wavelengths or significantly higher repetition rates at lower pulse energyWhy buy from AMS Technologies?Expert product selection and technical supportProven components from qualified suppliersReliable European service and supplyCustom engineering when standard products are not enoughOne partner from component to complete solutionWhat's nextAre you ready to order?
