Request InfoCoherent Inc.Vitara from Coherent Inc. is a widely tunable one-box ultrafast laser that delivers pulse widths shorter than 12 fs. It offers hands-free and fully automated operation, including wavelength tuning from 755 to 860 nm and push-button bandwidth adjustment from 30 to 125 nm. The output power peaks at >450 mW because of the fully integrated and compact Verdi G 5-W pump laser, which is based on proprietary optically pumped semiconductor laser technology. The 125-nm maximum bandwidth delivers a specified pulse width of <20 fs, with a typical pulse width of 15 fs directly from the laser output.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics May/Jun 2023 IssueTunable Laser SystemThe Tunable Laser System from Spectrolight Inc. is an all-in-one tunable light source system that enables precise selection of a broad spectral range from 410 to 1650 nm and easy bandwidth adjustment...Photonics Spectra July 2023 IssueDeep UV Picosecond LaserThe HyperRapid NXT 266 industrial-grade deep UV picosecond laser from Coherent offers precision manufacturing as small as 5 µm.
