KATANA

KATANA – pulsed lasers

The KATANA is a versatile, sub-nanosecond pulsed laser system designed for industrial applications.

In its standard configuration, the KATANA provides pulses of 35 ps duration. Pulse repetition rates span from pulse-on-demand up to 100 MHz, and you can trigger the laser pulse from an external source. The KATANA is robust, maintenance-free, and has a low cost of ownership.

If you need a versatile, sub-nanosecond laser system designed for all industrial applications, the KATANA laser is an excellent choice.

In the standard configuration, the KATANA provides pulses of 35 ps duration but other options – from 30 ps up to 10 ns – are available.

Depending on the model, the pulse repetition rate spans from pulse-on-demand to 100 MHz. The standard is either 0.05 to 1 MHz or 20 to 80 MHz.

The laser pulse can be triggered from an external source (in either master or slave mode). Continuous tuning of the repetition rate is standard.

Other available options

Contact us if you want to talk about other options, such as:

  • Burst mode
  • Isolator/collimator output
  • PM or SM fiber output

No alignment is required making the KATANA maintenance-free which ensures you a low cost of ownership.

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy

Combining the KATANA with a SuperK FIANIUM provides a complete source for super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. The KATANA serves as a depletion laser while the SuperK FIANIUM is a multi-wavelength system platform offering a spectrum between 400 nm and 2400 nm.
