Femtosecond Industrial laser

The NASA LaRC has a requirement for a Femtosecond Industrial laser. The laser will be used for a variety of projects where very short pulses (as short as possible, 300 fs or less) are needed, and the ability to tune the pulse length into the ps range is important. The laser should have a maximum burst energy of up to 4uJ at 515nm, and the ability to internally attenuate (with software) between 0 and 100% of this number is important. The operating frequency should be adjustable (within software) between high (MHz) and low (tens of Hz) pulses per second. Some key features of the required laser include: • The ability to produce very short pulses (as short as possible, 300 fs or less) • The ability to tune the pulse length into the ps range • A maximum burst energy of up to 4uJ at 515nm • The ability to internally attenuate (with software) between 0 and 100% of the maximum burst energy • The ability to adjust the operating frequency (within software) between high (MHz) and low (tens of Hz) pulses per second
