The PyroFlex 2 series of industrial pulsed laser platforms is capable of shaping pulse parameters to exact specifications for microprocessing applications. The platform utilizes a unique software pulse control process. It combines the advantages of proven high-reliability fiber-coupled laser diode pumping technology with the benefits of programming control, and incorporates an optional optical isolator for good pulse stability. The patent-pending technology provides application developers and system integrators with complete, individual control of pulse parameters, including width, height, and repetition rate. It also gives fine and detailed control over precise pulse shape and complex pulse trains, and access to pulse-on-demand operating regimes. Available in both 1064nm and 532-nm wavelengths, the PyroFlex 2 series builds on this company’s PyroFlex 25, which was introduced in early 2007. The technology can be deployed in numerous OEM applications requiring ultra-fine and high-precision micromachining, including wafer and ceramic processing, memory repair, via drilling, and finesse ablative processes.
