FlexPulse – Picosecond pulses with arbitrary pulse sequence and energy

Gray scale picture produced with constant scan speed

The company neoLASE provides short pulse laser systems by combining innovative pulsed laser sources with well-established and reliable solid state lasers. A new developed, compact laser system will now enable picosecond laser pulses with a unique flexibility in terms of pulse sequence control.

The increasing demands in laser material applications require high flexible and comprehensive laser systems. For these areas neoLASE developed a new picosecond laser system with a unique flexibility in terms of pulse control. With the flex pulse technology the lasers repetition rate and the pulse energy can be changed continuously. The system is based on a laser diode emitting 70 ps long laser pulses which can be triggered (PLS) for each pulse individually. The pulses sequence therefore can be arbitrary and set from single pulses up to 80 MHz repetition rates or can be synchronized with scanners or moving axes. The use of a frequency sweep for example can produce gray scale pictures without changing the scanners speed. A second control input (PWR) enables free pulse energy control up to 250 µJ which can be correlated to changes in the repetition rate or adapted to different processing steps.
