VaryDisk F240

The VaryDisk FEMTO is a fully functional laser system especially suited for laboratory investigations. The VaryDisk FEMTO is equiped with a femtosecond seed source, allowing ultrashort pulse durations. Additional specifications can be chosen according to our customers need by either combination of one of our four VaryDisk base versions, or with various available options listed below. Especially usefull for the VaryDisk FEMTO system is the variability option, alowing a motorized adjustment of the pulse duration. Furthermore, additional seed lasers can be used for an even larger flexibility with respect to the available pulse durations. Depending on the individual choice of parameters, the VaryDisk FEMTO  qualifies as industrial / scientific or prototype laser system.

OPTIONS

We offer different options along with the base versions of the VaryDisk system in order to increase the output power (power upgrade 240 W) and/or to allow additional operating modes along with the generation of different pulse characteristics, e.g. different choices of pulse durations, wavelength, or even the simultaneous generation of pulses with different pulse characteristics in one operation mode.  Some of the available options are listed below. Please consult our team for possible combination choices and further information.

  • motorized compressor (MC) for an adjustable pulse duration adjustable 2 ps … 500 fs
  • shorter pulse durations < 350 fs (even shorter upon request: FEMTO+)
  • multiple seed lasers (e.g. fs, ps, ns) for mixed pulse trains (MPT)
  • higher repetition rates of up to 1 MHz
  • pulse picker (PP-6, PP-9, PP-12)
  • active stabilizer (RMS+) for improved RMS
  • high speed warm up routine (HS)
  • customizable network Interface
  • 515 nm

APPLICATIONS

The extremely short pulse durations in the range of a few hundred femtoseconds allow material processing with almost complete evaporation of the material. Compared to picosecond pulses, the higher peak power densities allow a flexible input-coupling of the radiation into various types of material. Furthermore, high ablation efficiency can be obtained and the thermal impact on the material further minimized. Femtosecond material processing is particularly suited for drilling and precision ablation of glass.

Application examples, showing the capabilities of the VaryDisk laser system, were demonstrated in our application lab. Please consult D+G for further information.for further information.
