UFL-Pico Seeders

MPBC's UFL-Pico Seeders are mode-locked fiber lasers that deliver several milliwatts of output power. They produce picosecond pulses through polarization-maintaining fiber, offering either a narrow or broadband spectral bandwidth for diverse applications, including pulse compression.

These lasers generate picosecond pulses with exceptional beam quality. Designed for high stability across various environmental conditions, the UFL-Picosecond Seeders require no maintenance, ensuring reliable long-term operation. They are available with a wide range of wavelength selections and repetition rates.

All-fiber design with no bulk optics
Picosecond pulses delivered in PM fiber
Superior beam quality with M²<1.1
Compact size
Reliable self-start in less than 5 seconds
Excellent stability - Low amplitude and phase noise
