Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (HCPCF) technology has revolutionized Ultra-Short Pulse (USP) laser beam delivery. Industry-grade USP laser beam delivery system (BDS) modules, developed by GLOphotonics, however, display polarization fluctuations during movement. To overcome this, we've developed a BDS module maintaining constant polarization irrespective of motion. This BDS uses an inhibited-coupling HCPCF with an injected beam from a 1030 nm wavelength USP laser. Demonstrating a 97% transmission rate and stable linear polarization (34dB of polarization extinction ratio (PER)), it showed less than 3% power fluctuation and less than 1% polarization fluctuation during movement. This marks a significant advancement in BDS applications.
We report on the development of FastLas, a scalable and versatile Ultra-Short Pulse (USP) laser compression technology. This system compresses down to a 50-20 fs range, USP lasers with pulse widths from 900 fs to 200 fs, energies from a few μJ to 1 mJ, average power from 100 mW to 100 W, and wavelengths from 343 nm in UV to 1.8μm in IR. It utilizes a gas-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber to broaden and compress any USP laser spectrum. As a result, FastLas presents an adaptable pulse compression solution, offering potential for applications in various industrial and scientific fields.
