The D+G GigaPulse is the first commercially available device achieving kW average power as well as mJ pulse energy in the short and ultrashort pulse time regime.
The D+G VaryDisk is build in a cascading laser system starting from a seed laser amplified by a VaryDisk to a power and energy level which suits the amplification properties of the GigaPulse system - typically. Other configurations are possible as well.
We engineered the GigaPulse for the following pulse energy and average power regimes:
1 J; 1kHz; 1ns
750mJ; 1kW; ≤ 3ps
1,4mJ; 1MHz; ≤ 3ps
15mJ; 100 kHz; ≤ 3ps
Depending on the pulse energy level operating in vacuum might be required. For these cases an industrially designed vacuum chamber ist available.
The pumping of the GigaPulse is done with one of the most reliable pump sources available on the market - typically: a Laserline LDF.
Gigapulse Addon
For a further increase of pulse energy and/or output power towards the kW regime, we offer a Gigapulse linear amplifier. Additional information can be found on the corresponding product page. For further information, please consult our team.
Scanner, Helical Drilling Optic
In order to bring the laser pulses to your workpiece, we offer different kinds of micromachining tools, such as third party scanners, or our own helical drilling optics.
SHG, THG Option
In order to allow the generation of different wavelengths, the standard wavelength of 1030 nm can be frequency doubled to 515 nm. Even the generation of UV light is possible.
Femto+ Option
By use of different gain materials, the amplification bandwidth of our VaryDisk system can be increased. This way, even shorter pulse durations are available for the VaryDisk femto, pico, and/or energy.
Aditional Seed Laser(s)
The VaryDisk femto, pico, and/or energy system can be operated with additional seed lasers in order to allow an additional flexibility in the choice of pulse durations. Along with the original pulse duration of the base system, pulses with picosecond and/or nanoseconds are additionally available. Even pulse to pulse switching is possible, if requested so by our customer.
Cavity Dumped Option
With additional cavity dumped mode, the flexibility of the VaryDisk system is enlarged by an operating mode with nanosecond pulse durations.
Twin Option
Different base systems of the VaryDisk can be combined in order to increase the flexibility and cost effectiveness of this laser system. One possible combination is the use of the femto and pico system simultaneously by adding another ps-seed to the femto version.
Flexibility Option
The VaryDisk femto laser system with flexibility option offers unprecedented flexibility in the choice of pulse duration from the femtosecond to the microsecond range.
