NKT Photonics releases World’s most affordable supercontinuum laser

“The new SuperK COMPACT brings supercontinuum sources into volume applications that are today dominated by single-line lasers, lamps and SLEDs. Now you can replace several of these sources with only one SuperK COMPACT and significantly reduce system complexity and cost. Add to that a maintenance-free lifetime of thousands of hours and the cost of ownership for this broadband system is the lowest we have seen in the industry.”

The COMPACT is powered by NKT Photonics patented photonic crystal fiber technology pioneered more than a decade ago and which have since then been licensed to several partners in the industry. Constructed on the same platform as the larger SuperK EXTREME sources, the COMPACT is compatible with the existing range of supercontinumm accessories such as the SuperK SPLIT wavelength splitter and the tunable variable bandpass filter, SuperK VARIA, all of which can all be controlled directly from the source or through the bundled control software package.

The new SuperK COMPACT will be shown live at the BiOS and Photonics West exhibition on booth #711 in San Francisco in the beginning of February.
