Description
The Thorlabs FSL1550 is a high-performance femtosecond fiber laser designed for applications requiring ultra-short pulse durations and high stability. Delivering sub-40 femtosecond pulses at a central wavelength of 1560 nm, this air-cooled, turnkey system provides more than 500 mW average power and peak powers exceeding 60 kW at a 100 MHz repetition rate.
Built on an all-PM-fiber architecture with no moving parts or free-space sections, the FSL1550 ensures exceptional environmental robustness and eliminates the need for realignment during routine operation. An integrated controller and air-cooled design simplify system setup and operation, making it an ideal source for advanced ultrafast applications.
The laser’s outstanding performance characteristics make it particularly suited for demanding applications such as supercontinuum generation, terahertz (THz) generation, ultrafast spectroscopy, and multiphoton microscopy. Compact yet powerful, the FSL1550 enables researchers and system developers to push the boundaries of precision and efficiency in ultrafast optical experiments.
