Grenoble France – January 2009:

Teem Photonics is proud to announce the following major strides and recent highlights :

•    Introduction of Picospark™, our line of amplified PQS lasers, with ultrashort picosecond pulses that reach peak powers of hundreds of kilowatts and average powers in the multiWatts.  7W versions are available at 1064nm, 4W at 532nm, and 2W at 355nm.

•    Release of FiberChip, which provides high peak powers and high repetition rates even into the UV, from a package that enables placement of the laser beam in compact locations.  FiberChip not only exceeds the performance of our highly popular PowerChip lasers, generating peak powers as high as 275kW at 1064nm as well as 20uJ pulses at 3kHz at 355nm, but also emits the beam from a head that is just one-eighth the volume of the PowerChip. 

•    Increased performance from our highly compact microchip lasers, with powers now reaching 400mW at 1064nm and repetition rates reaching 40kHz at 266nm.

•    Frequency capabilities never previously provided from a PQS laser:  fixing repetition rates down to 10Hz; triggering instantaneously from 500µs to 100ms; adjusting average power values to as low as 25% of the laser’s free-running average power level.
