A collaborative effort by Light Conversion, Vilniaus universitetas (Vilnius University), and Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) have demonstrated a compact high-flux X-ray source based on irradiation of solid targets by gigahertz and megahertz bursts of femtosecond laser pulses. The simplicity and relative cost-effectiveness of the presented X-ray source makes it an attractive solution … Continue reading
To appreciate the precision of a snowflake it is not necessary to stand out in the cold! This year snowflakes come trapped in glass and are visible only with the help of polarized light. Single-pass welding of 1-mm thick, fused silica glass is enabled using the BiBurst function of the CARBIDE femtosecond laser from Light … Continue reading
CARBIDE from Light Conversion is an industrial-grade femtosecond laser system offering burst-in-burst capabilities for simultaneous GHz and MHz operation. This laser can output up to 80 W of average power, pulse energy of up to 800 μJ. CARBIDE can operate at a base repetition rate of up to 2 MHz. The laser can emit up to 10 pulses at MHz and … Continue reading
Femtosecond lasers are highly versatile tools that enable unique material processing capabilities. Due to the high precision offered by ultrashort pulse micromachining, femtosecond laser systems are applied in both industrial and scientific fields. To accompany the needs of the industry, a trend towards high average power (>100 W) femtosecond laser systems for micromachining has recently become apparent. … Continue reading
Light Conversion launched the improved CARBIDE femtosecond laser with power doubling to 80 W. Features include: 250 fs – 20 ps single pulse up to 2 MHz pulse energy (up to 0.8 mJ) state-of-the-art BiBurst functionality fast energy control pulse-to-pulse modulation To watch the introductory YouTube video, click here.

Now the CARBIDE CB3 laser available from Light Conversion has an option for tunable GHz and MHz burst with burst-in-burst capability — called BiBurst. The distance between burst packet groups is called the nanosecond burst (N). The picosecond burst (P) is the distance between sub-pulses in the group. The image below illustrates the difference between the single pulse mode and … Continue reading
