PicoSpark ps Fibre Amplified Laser
PicoSpark brings together Passively Q-Switched (PQS) microchip laser technology with fibre amplification, resulting in a multiwattt laser that generates pulses with hundreds of kilowatt peak power and hundreds of gigawatt per square centimeter irradiance.
A PQS microschip laser is the seed of PicoSpark adn sets the pulse widths in the hundreds pf picoseconds; a fibre amplifier provides the gain, compactly and efficiently. This Master Oscillator Fibre Amplifier (MOFA) architecture enables a constant pulse width, while allowing the user to vary the pulse energy (or peak power) and the repetition rate independently of each other. The output is freespace coupled, preserving peak power and beam quality.
The PicoSpark HNP series emits 5.5W at 1064nm; the HNG series emits 3.5W at 532nm, generated by harmonic conversion, both with an M2 of 1.4 or lower.
