LASERS


FemtoBlade


Lumentum has added the FemtoBlade femtosecond laser to its portfolio of ultrafast lasers. The laser employs a modular design that provides increased flexibility and high power at high repetition rates. This will enable faster processing and improved throughput for micromachining applications, including OLED, PCB, ceramic and glass cutting, engraving and solar cell processing. Available in UV, IR and green wavelengths,


the FemtoBlade comes with powers ranging from 12W to 50W of UV, up to 200W of IR, or up to 100W of green. The laser incorporates previous Lumentum ultrafast laser features with added benefits, including: FlexBurst and MegaBurst, providing the ability to split the energy at a higher power of a single pulse (single pulse mode) into a group of pulses (burst mode); AccuTrig, providing accurate triggering function for on-the- fly processing capabilities; and SYNC, which enables precise timing control for applications benefiting from the increased productivity achieved with high-speed galvo or line scanners. www.lumentum.com


TruFiber P, TruMicro 2000 and TruMicro 6000


Trumpf has released a new line of TruFiber P fibre lasers, offering up to 6kW power output and a sophisticated array of optics, sensors and software. The TruFiber P offers an output with a spliced laser light cable and VariMode technology, which enable its beam characteristics to be adapted to suit varying manufacturing requirements. The laser can process thin sheets of steel and aluminium at high speeds, as well as copper, brass and other reflective materials. It then takes less than 40ms for VariMode to change the beam profile for piercing and cutting thick sheet metal. TruFiber P also features Active Power Control, where a power sensor compares the value preset on the laser with the actual power reading at microsecond intervals. In the event of a discrepancy, the power level is adjusted automatically. This keeps the laser power


IceFyre GR50


MKS Instruments has introduced the Spectra- Physics IceFyre GR50, a compact, high-power green picosecond laser offering exceptional performance and low cost-of-ownership. The laser is also rugged and compact, enabling easy integration into machine tools. The IceFyre GR50 is ideal for


micromachining some of today’s most challenging materials, including FR4, various metals, ceramics and glass composites. The laser delivers >50W average power and >100μJ of green pulse energy at adjustable


repetition rates, from single shot to 10MHz, with true pulse-on-demand and position- synchronised-output triggering. The laser’s TimeShift ps programmable pulse capability enables flexible burst operation with adjustable sub-pulse count, separation and intensity for optimising micromachining results. Fully automated and computer controlled,


the laser exhibits exceptional stability in power, beam parameters and beam pointing during 24/7 operation to deliver high precision and reproducibility for demanding applications. www.mksinst.com/b/spectra-physics


output constant, even after years of operation. Trumpf has also unveiled the TruMicro 6000


and TruMicro 2000 ultrashort pulse lasers, each capable of providing an output in the infrared, UV and green wavelengths. Based on slab technology, which enables high pulse energies at high repetition rates, the TruMicro 6000 can be deployed in various industries for applications ranging from cutting to drilling. With pulse energies of several millijoules, this laser is capable of processing glass up to 6mm thick. The TruMicro 2000 offers a high average power output of up to 100W in a compact, lightweight design. The laser’s pulse duration, repetition rate and pulse energy can be variably adjusted within milliseconds to suit a wide range of use cases, such as cutting highly sensitive medical products, machining surfaces and marking a wide variety of materials ranging from glass and plastics to corrosion-resistant metals. www.trumpf.com
