Spectra-Physics
Spectra-Physics
MKS Instruments’ Spectra-Physics business unit will exhibit IceFyre at the trade fair in Munich. Icefyre is a compact, high power industrial picosecond hybrid fibre laser with excellent cost performance.
IceFyre delivers exceptional performance with high power and short picosecond pulses, as well as having adjustable repetition rates, TimeShift ps programmability pulse flexibility, and pulse-on-demand triggering. Combining power supply and laser head in a single rugged and compact package, IceFyre enables easy system integration and has proven reliability and stability.
