SuperK FIANIUM Supercontinuum Lasers SUPERK CHROMATUNE Tunable laser SuperK EVO Family
The SuperK FIANIUM supercontinuum white light lasers are broad as a lamp and bright as a laser. They deliver high brightness diffraction-limited light in the entire 390-2400 nm region. By adding one of our filters, the SuperK can be converted into an ultra-tunable laser. Our supercontinuum lasers are maintenance-free and the the monolithic fiber architecture ensures excellent reliability and a lifetime of thousands of hours.

  • 390-2400 nm single-mode output
  • Fail-safe operation at the press of a button
  • Robust and maintenance-free

SC4500 - Mid-IR Supercontinuum Laser, 1.3 to 4.5 ?m
SuperK COMPACT supercontinuum lasers SuperK EXTREME Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) laser  Thorlabs Mid-IR Supercontinuum Laser
The SuperK COMPACT is a low cost supercontinuum white light source delivering diffraction limited light in the entire 450-2400 nm region with a brightness orders of magnitude larger than that of incandescent lamps and with far greater bandwidth than ASE sources or SLEDs. The light is delivered in a single mode fiber terminated with either a standard FC/PC connector or our high quality collimator.

  • Cost efficient broadband source
  • High brightness and long lifetime
  • Visible to IR light in one module
  • Input pulse trigger
  • Variable repetition rate
  • Flexible accessory range
  • Alternative to ASE sources, lamps and SLDs
The SuperK OCT sources are broadband low noise sources designed for optical coherence tomography. Paired with a broadband spectrometer, these sources gives the same performance as Ti:Sapphire-based OCT systems at much low cost, lower foot-print and with great mobility and robustness.

  • 400-2400 nm single-mode output
  • Large bandwidth for micron resolution OCT systems
  • Low noise
  • Reliable and maintenance-free 24/7 operation
  • Long lifetime of thousands of hours
The SC4500 is the world’s first commercially available femtosecond-laser-pumped Mid-IR Supercontinuum Laser Source.

This supercontinuum laser emits over a wavelength range from approximately 1.3 µm to 4.5 µm (7700 cm-1 to 2200 cm-1) with >300 mW of average output power in a collimated beam. More than 110 mW of the output power is within the 2.2 – 4.2 µm (4500 cm-1 – 2400 cm-1) range, which overlaps with many gas absorption lines and other molecular signatures.

The pulsed femtosecond oscillator driving the supercontinuum runs at a fixed repetition rate of 50 MHz. The brightness of the SC4500 laser exceeds traditional Globars and even synchrotron sources by orders of magnitude.

  • 300 mW Output Power Over Entire Bandwidth
  • >110 mW Output Power over 2.2 – 4.2 µm
  • 0.025% (Typical) Intensity Noise Enables Highly Sensitive Measurements
  • Robust All-Fiber Design for Hands-Off, Reliable Operation
  • Record-High Brightness Enables Remote and Standoff Detection
  • Compatible with Standard FTIR Spectrometers
