Southampton, England, September 4^th, 2014

Fianium are pleased to announce that the WhiteLase™ SC480-20, just launched in February at Photonics West is now shipping to multiple customers. These new systems represent the world’s highest brightness supercontinuum laser with an unprecedented 20W of total power, over 3W of visible (350-750nm), 4.5W of extended visible (350-850nm) power and a continuous output spectrum from 480nm to 2400nm.

The WL-SC480-20 produces picosecond pulses at 80 MHz repetition rate, which can be varied down to 100 kHz with the pulse picker option, enabling a host of new application possibilities in both steady state and lifetime measurements.

Ross Hodder, Scientific Sales Manager for Fianium, commented: “We are very encouraged by the high level of interest we are seeing in this product from users requiring the maximum possible power levels.  Ongoing rigorous internal testing of multiple units ensures users of a high level of reliability even at these power levels. The WL-SC480-20 sets a new standard for supercontinuum output power and is three times brighter than its nearest competitor.  It has the same intuitive, touch screen control as our full range of extended blue and extended UV lasers, and operates with our full range of plug-and-play spectral filtering accessories.”

Please visit us at Strategies in BioPhotonics, September 9-11 in Boston, to discuss the complete new range of extended blue, extended UV and high power Supercontinuum lasers and other ultrafast fiber lasers.
