40GHz Picosecond Pulse Laser

Calmar Laser has extended its family of ultrafast lasers with the addition of two 40GHz fibre lasers. These have repetition rates as high as 160GHz and even 640GHz if used with Calmar's bit rate multiplier. Calmar's fibre lasers have extremely low jitter and low noise. Systems come with sophisticated software which makes configuration and operation quick and easy.
