February 7, 2007, Berlin, Germany--Lumics has announced the release of the LU1064K1001 pulsed seeder laser unit with an optical output of 1W peak power from single mode fiber. The LU1064K1001 is a pulsed laser diode module that incorporates temperature and bias control electronics, as well as a matched pulse driver amplifier in a rugged industry type housing with integrated heatsink. Target applications include seeder sources for ytterbium pulsed fiber laser in master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration.
The device generates optical pulses with a pulsewidth selectable between 10 ns and 250 ns, and a repetition rate selectable from single shot up to 500 kHz. It is designed to operate as an analogue electrical-to-optical converter, thus allowing pulse shaping within the module´s bandwidth of approximately 100 MHz. The laser module is available as 1032 nm, 1055 nm, 1064 nm, 1070 nm or 1080 nm version. The optical output features a very high beam quality of M2 ~ 1.1.
