The Teem Photonics Picospark is a compact, high-performance picosecond pulsed laser designed for applications requiring short optical pulses, high repetition rates and excellent beam quality. Combining Teem Photonics’ microchip laser technology with an efficient fibre-amplifier architecture, Picospark provides a reliable picosecond source for scientific instrumentation, biophotonics, spectroscopy and industrial applications.
Picospark is available at 1064 nm and 532 nm, with configurations providing pulse durations from approximately 30 ps to 100 ps and repetition rates from single-shot operation up to 1 MHz. Depending on the configuration, pulse energies can reach several microjoules, providing high peak power while maintaining a compact and efficient laser architecture.
The laser delivers a high-quality TEM₀₀ beam, with typical M² <1.2 and linear polarisation. This combination of short pulse duration, good spatial mode quality and high repetition rate makes Picospark particularly suitable for applications where precise energy delivery and temporal resolution are important.
A major advantage of the Picospark platform is its compact, robust design. The laser is air-cooled and designed for straightforward integration into laboratory systems and OEM instrumentation. External control and triggering options allow the laser to be synchronised with other equipment, making it suitable for automated measurement and imaging systems.
The short pulses generated by Picospark are particularly useful for nonlinear optics and frequency conversion, including supercontinuum generation and multiphoton processes. Other applications include Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence and biophotonics, LiDAR, time-resolved measurements, optical ranging and precision micromachining.
With its combination of picosecond pulse duration, high repetition rate, excellent beam quality and compact footprint, the Teem Photonics Picospark provides a flexible laser source for researchers and OEM developers requiring reliable pulsed performance without the size and complexity of larger ultrafast laser systems.
