SuperLight Photonics’ SLP-1000 is the World’s first portable wideband laser, with a low average power consumption of 12 W (max. 60 W), provisions for battery operation, and a form factor of just 175 x 96 x 52 mm, weighing 900 g.
Using a seed laser from Menlo Systems, the SLP-1000 features a Patterned Alternating Dispersion (PAD) mechanism to output a high-quality, smoothly continuous spectrum of coherent laser light from >400 nm to >2000 nm. The stable operating range is 450 nm at -3 dB to 1500 nm at -20 dB with a repetition rate of 100 MHz and a pulse duration of <20 fs. This repetition rate is set by the seed laser, and the laser power output is 25% of the seed input power; the SLP-1000 accepts a maximum seed input of 1 W.
This instantaneous wideband coherent light source enables single-shot light-based measurements that are much faster and more reliable than tuning or scanning laser technology. This enables a new level of precision and functionality in many applications, including:
- Spectroscopy
- Bio-medical imaging
- Precision farming
- Material/surface inspection
- Environmental sensing
- Aerial surveillance
- Quality control
- Industrial metrology
For seamless integration with standard optical and photonics equipment, the SLP-1000 uses a Thorlabs-compatible screw thread (SM05).
