Why the “iQoM” Ultrashort Pulse Laser is ideal for OEM and R&D?
Special Website >>
Key Features
SESAM-free / All-passive component / All-polarization-maintaining fiber / FC connector input and output / High-power / nJ-level pulse energy / Compressible to femtosecond pulses
SESAMs degrade over time
Most of the ultrashort pulse fiber laser on the market use a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) in the oscillator. However, SESAMs have issues with degradation, manufacturing variation, and availability. iQoM series uses an artificial saturable absober instead of a SESAM.
Proprietary technology to assist the start of the laser Oscillators
Common fiber laser cavities using artificial saturable absorbers require high power LD or two LDs with complex feedback control, and large and expensive optical components. Every component of the iQoM is commercially available, cost-effective, small optical fiber components, making iQoM small and low price.
Dual-color bandpass filtering technology
Fiber lasers in the 1 μm wavelength band require at least one wavelength selective element, such as a narrowband bandpass filter and a fiber Bragg grating. iQoM use our dual-color bandpass filtering technique (patent-pending). The unique technique improves the reliability and reproducibility of self-starting mode locking.
All passive components
iQoM does not include active components such as laser diodes and electrical circuits. There is no risk of failure caused by electricity. iQoM is compatible with your existing LDs and electronics, and can be easily replaced with traditional oscillators using SESAM.
Applications
- Laser micromachining
- Spectroscopic measurement (time-resolved part, light/terahertz spectroscopy)
