Abstract

Using frugal innovation to focus only on the mandatory features given by a particular application, we have developed a femtosecond laser that provides 900 fs, 12 µJ pulses at 1030 nm at the end of a 3 m long perfectly single-mode glass fiber. This system is battery powered and the output beam is easily movable in any direction and position within a 6 m diameter sphere. Our system relies on an innovative monolithic compressor including a CVBG. The compressor is 20 x 20 mm and weight a few grams. We will present the design and performances of the monolithic pulse compressor as well as the source attached to it. This device is presently used in a handheld laser instrument developed and sold by Ilasis Laser for cataract surgery.
