Teem Photonics offers faster, colder PicoSpark short-pulse laser

California-based Teem Photonics recently unveiled a faster, colder version of its passively Q-Switched PicoSpark short-pulse laser family. Intended for micromachining and precision marking, the PicoSpark is said to have a 25 percent higher repetition rate and 25 percent shorter pulse compared to previous versions.

The PicoSpark short-pulse laser from Teem Photonics.

Now offered with 50 kHz repetition rate, and down to 400 ps pulse duration—at 1064nm or 532nm—the PicoSpark laser is capable of peak power in excess of 200 kW, according to Teem Photonics. The latest product offering from the company includes:

  •     Repetition rates up to 150 kHz,
  •     Wavelengths from 266nm to 1,064nm
  •     Pulse width from 300 to 900 ps
  •     Pulse energy from 1µJ to 200µJ.
