Eolite Systems, manufacturer of electro-optic devices, has introduced a new rod-type fiber laser that is ideal for various micromachining applications such as microdrilling, wafer processing, thin-film ablation, engraving, and cutting.
The Hegoa fiber laser is suitable for industrial fields such as LEDs, microelectronics, semiconductors, and photovoltaics.
The fiber laser features an optomechanical design that facilitates in delivering long life. It functions at wavelengths of 343 (ultraviolet) nm, 515 (green) nm, and 1030 (infrared) nm with a pulse duration of 30 ps. The unit is based on the scalable rod-type fiber technology and attains a maximum average power of 60 W at a wavelength of 1030 nm.
The ultraviolet laser unit features a maximum energy/pulse of 15 µJ with an average power of 7 W. The green unit delivers an average power of 15 W with an energy/pulse of up to 30 µJ. The infrared fiber laser delivers an average power of 30 W with an energy/pulse of up to 100 µJ. The unit also has a repetition rate between 200 kHz and 10 MHz and linear polarization features.
