Developed for both demanding 24/7 OEM and academic applications, the aero­PULSE FS50 delivers high unit-to-unit consistency and uptime, low cost of ownership, and ease of integration.

Ultra-short femtosecond pulses

This high-performance and rugged OEM fiber laser utilizes state-of-the-art mode-lock­ing technology to deliver ultra-short femtosecond pulses with outstanding long-term stability, superior pulse-to-pulse stability, low noise, and excellent beam pointing stability.

Developed for cutting edge applications

The aeroPULSE FS50 is designed for a diverse range of applications including thin film cutting, glass cutting, stent, and other medical devices, IC package cutting, scribing, OPA pumping, and material processing.

With the introduction of programmable amplifier burst control, higher ablation rates or depths can be achieved over non-burst processing for many applications. This new feature allows for full process optimization.

As standard, the aero­PULSE FS50 is available with output powers up to 50 W at 1030 nm. With tunable pulse duration and a high range of repetition rates, the aeroPULSE FS50 is a flexible, cost-effective femtosecond laser.

Get the dual-wavelength second harmonic module

The attachable second-harmonic generation (SHG) module makes it possible to switch between 20 μJ at 515 nm and 40 μJ at 1030 nm. The wavelength is selected via software.

Maintenance-free and OEM-ready

Utilizing NKT Photonics proprietary optoCAGETM technology results in no alignment for ultimate reliability. The aeroPULSE FS50 guarantees high stability with 24/7 operation and is ideal for OEM integration.

The system can be remotely controlled via an RS-232 interface and incorporates extensive onboard data logging of key parameters.
