OverviewAcross the near-infrared spectrum, IPG offers a wide selection of continuous wave Ytterbium, Erbium, Thulium and Raman fiber lasers for scientific research, biomedical, and advanced applications. Non-linear conversion extends their wavelength range into visible and ultraviolet regimes.
General descriptionSingle-frequency and linearly polarized fiber lasers provide narrow spectral linewidth, low phase noise and a stable, single polarization state. These lasers are available in multiple material platforms (Ytterbium, Erbium, Thulium, Raman) and in frequency-converted variants (Green, Deep UV). Typical modes of operation are continuous wave (CW) or CW/modulated depending on series and model. Systems include single-mode beam quality and a range of average output powers to suit instrumentation, sensing, metrology and research applications.
