Fianium launches NEW HYLASE™ Industrial Picosecond Laser

04 Jun 2013

Fianium announces the arrival of a new 1064nm industrial picosecond laser ideal for precision laser processing. Based on state of the art fiber laser technology, the new HYLASE™ provides high stability and long lifetime making it ideal for 24/7 industrial use. The remote laser head, with small foot-print and low weight, offers easy integration yet gives class-leading power and pulse energy performance.

Maximum pulse energies of 50µJ or 125µJ in <20ps pulses and total powers >8W or >25W are available with the HYLASE-8 and HYLASE-25 systems respectively. Both versions have a fundamental repetition rate of 1MHz that can be pulse picked down to 100 kHz as standard; with the inclusion of a secondary AOM burst mode can be enabled such that the user can tailor the pulse energy and gain greater control over the light/material interaction. The Gaussian (TEM00) beam profile and excellent beam quality (M2<1.3) allows small feature sizes for high-precision material processing applications, whilst the very high pulse energy coupled with the ultra-short pulse duration means that focussed intensities of the order of GW/cm2 and fluences in the kJ/cm2 range can be achieved allowing the processing of almost any material with thermal effects. An optional Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) module can be offered to convert the wavelength to 532nm.

The multi-Megawatt peak-power delivered by the HYLASE™ system is suitable for processing the most demanding materials including transparent glasses and plastics. Typical applications include photovoltaic & electronics production, display glass processing and security & decorative marking.

The main system features include:

• Short pulsewidth and high pulse energy
• Compact Form factor
• High throughput processing
• Very Low Maintenance
• Variable repetition rate
