The world-leading PHAROS industrial femtosecond laser system from Light Conversion. An extremely robust and reliable femtosecond laser system, offering impressive flexibility in a fully industrialised package.
The PHAROS lasers are a series of femtosecond lasers combining multi‑millijoule pulse energy and high average power. The PHAROS features a mechanical and optical design optimised for both scientific and industrial applications. A compact, thermally‑stabilized, and sealed design enables PHAROS integration into various optical setups and machining workstations. The robust optomechanical design provides an exceptional laser lifetime and stable operation in varying environments.
The tunability of PHAROS allows the system to cover applications normally requiring multiple different laser systems. Tunable parameters include pulse duration (100 fs – 20 ps), repetition rate (single-shot – 1 MHz), pulse energy (up to 4 mJ), and average power (up to 20 W).
A pulse-on-demand mode is available using the built-in pulse picker. The versatility of PHAROS can be extended by a variety of options, including carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization, repetition rate locking to an external source, automated harmonic modules (for access to ~515nm, ~343nm, ~257nm and ~206nm) and a whole family of ORPHEUS optical parametric amplifiers for wavelength-tunable output options from the UV to the Mid-IR.
