    Description

    PHAROS is a series of femtosecond lasers combining multi‑millijoule pulse energy and high average power. PHAROS features a mechanical and optical design optimized for both scientific and industrial applications. Its compact, thermally‑stabilized, and sealed design enables PHAROS integration into various optical setups and machining workstations. The robust optomechanical design provides an exceptional laser lifetime and stable operation in varying environments.

    The tunability of PHAROS allows the system to cover applications normally requiring multiple different laser systems. Tunable parameters include pulse duration (100 fs – 20 ps), repetition rate (single-shot – 1 MHz), pulse energy (up to 4 mJ), and average power (up to 20 W).

    A pulse-on-demand mode is available using the built-in pulse picker. The versatility of PHAROS femtosecond lasers can be extended by a variety of options, including carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization, repetition rate locking to an external source, automated harmonic modules, and optical parametric amplifiers.
