Request InfoCoherent Inc.SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 30, 2015 — The Rapid FX femtosecond laser from Coherent Inc. is designed for precision micromachining of metal, glass, sapphire, ceramic and other dielectric materials. The solid-state laser delivers 900-fs pulsewidths with pulse energies up to 100 μJ at a repetition rate of 100 kHz and optional operation up to 200 kHz. A beam quality (M2) of <1.4 is featured with pulse-on-demand operation. High-energy femtosecond pulses enable the production of microscale features with virtually no heat-affected zone and without sacrificing processing speed. Applications include the drilling of holes...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 1/26/2023Industrial Femtosecond LaserThe Monaco 1035-150-150 IR industrial femtosecond laser with 150 W of output power from Coherent Corp. is designed to cut large OLED display glass.
