Halite: Single-box compact femtosecond laser
Halite is a compact, single-box, all-fiber femtosecond laser, specifically designed to meet the most demanding applications in the field of neuroscience, biophotonics, microscopy, and engineering. With pulses as short as <250 fs, average power up to 5 W at 1030 nm, and the option of second harmonic at 515 nm, it is an irreplaceable tool in every lab that needs a reliable, turn-key, ultrafast light source.
Thanks to its unique all-fiber construction and SESAM-free technology it is a cost-effective solution that provides high pulse energy (up to 250 nJ) with an excellent beam quality. Halite’s industrial design facilitates easy integration with both experimental and commercial systems.
