Supercontinuum-
White Light laser
from YSL Photonics

YSL Photonics supercontinuum lasers – so called white light lasers – are used in several applications in science and industry. There are two different types of technology platforms: “Gain-switched” master-oscillator-power-amplifier (MOPA) lasers and mode-locked systems.
MOPA supercontinuum lasers offer high pulse energies, selectable repetition rates, highest IR-power and a robust simple design. As an alternative, the mode-locked white light lasers show highest power in the visible and blue spectral range.
Diverse plug&play AOTF-systems are available in order to select or tune the wavelength. The portfolio is completed by variable linear filters (VLF) for flexible broadband selection.
