Key Properties

Short optical pulses

Picosecond 1064 nm laser with standard options including 60 ps laser, 100 ps laser, and 200 ps laser, with also custom pulse lengths available. This enables high temporal resolution and low-thermal-impact performance in precision analytical instruments.

Tunable repetition rate

Standard tuning range from 50–200 kHz, configurable down to single shot and trigger-in operation, ensures reliable synchronization in LIDAR, ranging, and time-correlated measurement systems.

High peak power

Pulse energies up to 10 µJ correspond to peak power exceeding 100 kW. Smooth electronic power control supports flexible system design and strong nonlinear interactions required in spectroscopy and material response studies.

Single-frequency spectrum

Single-frequency operation with < 0.06 nm linewidth and excellent spectral stability ensures high coherence and wavelength fidelity, making CP64 well suited for interferometry and narrowband sensing applications.

Compact footprint

Measuring only 140 × 90 × 50 mm, including all control electronics, CP64 simplifies integration in OEM platforms, compact system modules, and portable field instrumentation.


Beam Properties

With M² < 1.3 and a collimated free-space output, the beam supports efficient optical coupling, precise focusing, and long-propagation performance in demanding optical setups.




Applications

Supercontinuum generation

Supercontinuum generation relies on the interaction of short, high-intensity laser pulses with nonlinear optical media to produce an extremely broad optical spectrum. The combination of short pulse duration, high peak power and excellent beam quality makes the CP64 well suited as a pump source for supercontinuum generation and other nonlinear optical applications.


High precision LIDAR

Short optical pulses, narrow spectral linewidth and high repetition rates support demanding ranging and sensing applications requiring high spatial resolution and accurate distance measurements. The CP64 is well suited for high-precision time-of-flight systems, including airborne ranging, industrial LiDAR and satellite laser ranging (SLR).

Micromachining and marking

Picosecond laser sources are widely used for precision micromachining and material processing because their short pulse durations minimize thermal effects and enable highly localized energy deposition. The CP64 combines sub-nanosecond pulse durations with high repetition rates and sufficient pulse energy, making it suitable for demanding industrial and scientific material processing applications.

Underlying Technology

The CP32 is based on Picophotonics' proprietary SESAM-based passive Q-switching technology, combining picosecond pulse durations, stable single-frequency operation and a compact microchip architecture.
