IMPULSE
High-Average-Power Femtosecond Laser
IMPULSE is an all-diode-pumped, direct-diode-pumped Yb-doped fiber oscillator/amplifier system capable of producing variable pulse energies up to 10 microjoules at user-selectable repetition rates between 200 kHz and 25 MHz. With 20 Watts average power output at 2 MHz, IMPULSE offers more than an order-of-magnitude higher than has traditionally been available in a one-box ultrashort pulse laser design.
IMPULSE is based on a revolutionary new concept in mode-locked oscillator/amplifier technology. The use of a Yb-doped fiber-oscillator/fiber-amplifier design combines the low noise performance associated with solid state operation with the high spatial mode quality of fiber lasers.
IMPULSE is a compact, robust, one-box source of femtosecond to picosecond pulses with the ease-of-operation, stability and reliability you would expect from a fiber source. And all its major parameters are computer controlled, which allow it to be easily interfaced to your industrial workstation or experiment.
Optional accessories include multi-photon photo-polymerization, wave guide writing, micromachining, harmonic generation, and OPA/NOPA wavelength conversion for high S/N and rapid data acquisition in pump/probe experiments.

IMPULSE-HE
IMPULSE-HE is the second generation laser from the IMPULSE family that provides more pulse energy with the same salient features that our Model IMPULSE is famous for. It is built on the same all-diode-pumped, direct-diode-pumped Yb-doped fiber oscillator/amplifier system architecture capable of producing variable pulse energies in excess of 70μJ with user-adjustable repetition rates between single-shot and 25MHz.
IMPULSE-HE is based on a revolutionary new concept in mode-locked oscillator/amplifier technology. The Yb-doped fiber-oscillator/fiber-amplifier design combines the low noise performance of solid-state operation with the high spatial mode quality of fiber lasers.
IMPULSE-HE is a second generation, compact, robust, one-box source of femtosecond to picosecond pulses with the ease-of-operation, stability and reliability.

Magellan
Femtosecond/Picosecond Fiber Oscillator
Magellan delivers on the promise of fiber laser technology with performance comparable to diode-bar-pumped Vanadate laser-pumped Ti:Sapphire oscillators – and does so at a fraction of the cost, with much longer lifetime, and substantially lower cost-of-ownership.
Magellan is a fiber-pigtailed, telecom-qualified, direct-diode-pumped oscillator (no intermediate Vanadate pump laser) in a compact “all-in-one-box” enclosure. It can be configured to produce low noise picosecond or femtosecond pulses and has the ease-of-operation, and reliability you expect from a plug-and-play device. Free-space propagating output coupling is standard. Fiber output coupling and/or harmonic generator are optional.
