BATOP LogoMCL-1064: Microchip laser 1064 nm


Microchip Laser MCL-1064-150 and Fiber Coupled Microchip Laser MCL-1064-150-f

The microchip laser module delivers short single mode pulses on demand at a wavelength of 1064 nm. The pulse repetition rate is software controlled and can be set between single shot and 500 kHz. The nominal pulse duration is 150 ps.
The MCL-1064-150 contains a microchip with pump diode and a software controlled electronic module. The microchip is based on a Nd:YVO4 laser crystal with a semiconductor saturable output coupler.
A fiber coupled version of the microchip laser MCL-1064-150-f is also available. For the fiber coupled microchip laser the output is realized by a FC/APC terminated polarisation maintaining single mode fiber.
