BFi OPTiLAS, a division of Acal and a supplier of photonics and electronics products in the pan-European market, has launched the latest version of MENTAD 1550 nm pulsed fiber laser from Manlight, a French-based company that produces fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers.
The MENTAD fiber laser is more advanced in terms of technicality and performance than its earlier version. It uses 1.2 W of power and up to 40 mJ of energy. It has extended low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) triggering functionalities and operating temperature range between - 35°C and 65°C.
The fiber laser is an ultra compact device and measures 90x70x15 mm. it has a near diffraction limited beam of M² < 1.1. The device offers a pulse duration range between 500 ps and 1.25 ms and comes with an adjustable pulse width option.
The pulsed fiber laser is an economical, low consumption, maintenance-free and convenient-to-use device and is suitable for range finding, telemetry and LIDAR applications.
