SuperK EVO supercontinuum industrial lasers

NKT Photonics’ cost-efficient SuperK EVO supercontinuum white light lasers operate in the 400 – 2400 nm range, covering both the VIS and NIR ranges.

The SuperK EVO is fiber-coupled and therefore ready for immediate use, but the light can also be further filtered and adjusted to specific applications.
While the output spectrum of the SuperK EVO is similar to the spectrum of a lamp, the radiance is significantly higher. In addition, a standard repetition rate of up to 78 MHz and an output power of up to 2 W optimize the SuperK EVO in terms of speed and throughput.
The solid-state, all-fiber architecture of the established Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) technology ensures reliable 24/7 operation and a maintenance-free lifetime of thousands of hours.

High stability, reliability, low maintenance and low operating costs make them perfect for OEM integration, substituting lamps, LEDs, ASE sources and single-line lasers, even in challenging applications.

Features:

  • Cost-efficient industrial white light laser
  • High radiance and repetition rate
  • Robust and compact industrial design
  • Free software development kit
  • Reliable and maintenance-free 24/7 operation

Possible applications:

  • Material characterization
  • Semiconductor
  • Sorting
  • Test and measurement
  • Bio-imaging applications (e.g. fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy)
