WhiteLaseTM micro: Compact, high-performance, supercontinuum fiber laser now available for less than $20,000

The WhiteLase™ micro from Fianium is an ultra-broadband supercontinuum fiber laser combining the spectral properties of a lamp with the high beam-quality and brightness of a laser. Covering a continuous wavelength range from less than 450nm to greater than 2200nm, the system offers exceptional value for both scientific and OEM customers.

The WhiteLase micro, based on Fianium’s ultrafast mode-locked fibre laser technology, operates at Megahertz repetition rates, with picosecond pulses, making it suitable for both lifetime and steady-state applications. With total power exceeding 200mW, and more than 20mW in the visible region, the WhiteLase micro is a versatile tool that can be utilised in multiple applications including:

• Optical component characterisation

• Spectroscopy

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

• Fluorescence imaging

• Inspection and illumination.

The WhiteLase micro is compatible with all Fianium WhiteLase plug-and-play tunable filters creating an ultra-broadband tunable laser source.
