Light Conversion‘s award-winning CARBIDE industrial femtosecond laser system is extremely robust and reliable, complementing the PHAROS with higher average powers and faster rep rates.
Light Conversion‘s award-winning CARBIDE industrial femtosecond laser system is extremely robust and reliable, complementing the PHAROS with higher average powers and faster rep rates.
The CARBIDE lasers are a series of femtosecond lasers combining high average power and excellent power stability. The CARBIDE features market-leading output parameters without any compromises in beam quality and stability. A compact and robust optomechanical CARBIDE design allows a variety of applications in top-class research centres, as well as display, automotive, LED, medical, and other industries. The reliability of CARBIDE has been proven by hundreds of systems operating 24/7 in the industrial environment.
The tunability of CARBIDE lasers enables our customers to discover the most efficient manufacturing processes. Tunable parameters include pulse duration (190 fs – 20 ps), repetition rate (single-shot – 2 MHz), pulse energy (up to 2 mJ), and average power (up to 120 W). A pulse-on-demand mode is available using the built-in pulse picker.
The CARBIDE lasers can be equipped with industrial-grade modules, including but not limited to high-power harmonic generators, for access to ~515nm, ~343nm, ~257nm and ~206nm, as well as whole family of ORPHEUS optical parametric amplifiers for wavelength-tunable output options from the UV to the Mid-IR.
