Neon - The GHz laser pulse syntesizer

Neon is an innovative laser source which allows the tunability of optical output parameters such as repetition rate, pulse duration and burst mode, even during operation.

It is a fully fiber-coupled laser source that leverages robust proven radio-frequency and optical components to synthesize optical pulses for demanding 24/7 operations.

The unmatched versatility allows on-the-fly optimizations of processes and applications.

Native synchronization of pulse emissions is achieved without feedback loop electronics.

Optical amplifiers can be added to increase the average power
