Green Visible Fiber Lasers
-
MPBC launched the first visible fiber laser in 2006, a compact 560-nm 1 Watt laser. So began a collaboration with the scientific community looking for lasers not yet created, and the development of a product line spanning from 465-nm to 775-nm.
-
In the Green spectrum, MPBC offer lasers with output powers ranging from 200 mW to 5 Watts. MPBC's Fiber Lasers are renowned for their beam quality (m2 <1.1), high reliability (with lasers in the field accumulating plus 50,000 hours) and unsurpassed wavelength and power stability.
-
Green Visible Fiber Lasers are air cooled, available in either an OEM compact package, and / or a 2RU rack mountable package with integrated power supply. The lasers are controlled by a user-friendly graphical user interface for ease of set up and operation.
-
MPBC Fiber Laser Technology is so flexible we are able to offer our customers virtually any wavelength in the green spectrum between 514 nm (1028 nm) to 560 nm (1120 nm). To do this we employ our own fiber Bragg gratings to lock the laser wavelength and can produce in a very short turn-around time specific wavelengths addressing your requirement. If you have an application for a laser that is not covered in our current product portfolio, please reach out to us as we work closely with researchers to develop lasers to meet next generation requirements.

Fiber Coupling Option
For clients who require a fiber delivered beam, MPB offers optional fiber coupling with a maximum output power from the fiber for our 488 nm fiber laser is 350 mW
MPBC offers fiber coupling for all of our standard fiber lasers (488nm – 750nm) coupled to single mode PM patch cord.
- Maximum output power from fiber for each wavelength depends on output power from our standard VFLs with typical coupling efficiency in the range of 75-80%.
- Single mode PM Patch cord output options include
- Bare fiber
- FC/PC connector (flat 0°)
- FC/APC connector (flat, angled 8°).
