Eolite Presents New Power Laser At Photonics West Expo In San Jose, Calif., This January

France - The leading high power fiber laser company, EOLITE Systems, is entering in a new era with the introduction of its third generation of BOREAS high power fiber laser. EOLITE Systems jumps to its next development phase by offering a fully industrial oriented laser design to a demanding industry. The company will present the BOREAS at Photonics West 2009 in San Jose, Calif., from Jan. 27 to 29, on the French Pavilion at booth 1617.

EOLITE Systems team is proud to present the new BOREAS family with BOREAS HE and BOREAS HF, featuring hermetically sealed rock solid single-piece aluminum block, which strengthens key advantages of "rod-type" fiber technology: short pulse duration, very high repetition rates, beam quality, beam pointing stability, power stability.

BOREAS lasers includes the high energy family HE and high frequency family HF. BOREAS HE is available in two different models: HE40 (1030 nm, 40W, 7 ns pulse duration, 2 mJ pulse energy) and HE80 (1030 nm, 80W, 7 ns, 2 mJ pulse energy) designed for high-peak power micromachining applications: deep-engraving, high-speed marking, precision drilling, and more.

BOREAS HF is available in five different models depending on wavelength (1030 nm, 515 nm or 343 nm) and average power (from 7W at 343 nm to 50W at 515 nm). The new solid block design offers unequaled performances at 515 nm or 343 nm with the possibility to produce pulses at repetition rates up to 500 kHz. Applications include semiconductor, micro-electronics, glass-marking, thin film processing, and both silicon and thin-film photovoltaic industries.

The unique properties of rod-type fibers provide shorter pulses and higher average power than classical DPSS lasers even at very high repetition rates.

Single-mode propagation in the fiber ensures a polarized, diffraction limited beam. A patented resonator design produces sub-10 nanosecond pulses and pulse repetition frequencies up to 500 kHz. The laser head is conductively cooled and temperature stabilized by a closed loop chiller allowing a real sealed environment for long lifetime operation. Fiber coupled diodes located in the 19-in. electronic rack can be easily serviced with no adjustment of the laser head. The system comes with an RS-232 interface for easy integration in high-volume manufacturing environments.
