The APL-500-1064 ultrafast laser from Attodyne Lasers produces 5 ps pulses of 25 μJ at 10 kHz, with beam quality of M2 <1.2. The APL-4000-1064 produces less than 10 ps, 150 μJ pulses at 10 kHz with M2 <1.3. The fiber-based, diode-pumped, solid-state lasers provide rates of 0 to 500 kHz.

PRESS RELEASE
A novel compact, air cooled, picosecond laser was recently introduced. The APL-500-1064 (5ps, 25uJ @ 10kHz, M2 <1.2) and APL-4000-1064 (<10ps, 150uJ @ 10kHz, M2 <1.3) are fiber based dpss lasers that can be pulsed on demand from 0 to 500kHz.
These affordable ultrafast lasers combine the advantages of robust fiber laser technology with the high energies of solid state diode pumped free space amplifiers. The APL incorporates a non traditional laser cavity that is not susceptible to misalignment or in need of frequent maintenance. Custom versions are available at wavelengths from 1047nm to 6000nm.
Attodyne has developed a novel cold ablation method that results in no side affects to the remaining tissue due to heat. This cold ablation process can be utilized for medical applications that involve soft and hard tissues such as bone and teeth. Laser surgery and drilling are critical needs that can be met with this innovative laser technology.
Possible medical applications include corneal sculpting, cardiology and urology applications, precision cancer and endovascular surgery, arthroscopic surgery, dentistry, robotic surgery, plastic and maxillofacial surgery, cosmetic dermatology and others.
