Agile kW-level fs lasers for flexible and high throughput production

We report on kW-level femtosecond lasers for flexible and high throughput industrial applications. Power scaling is achieved by a slab-based amplifier architecture. The laser concept is capable to generate high pulse energies in the multi-mJ range as well as high pulse repetition rates in the MHz or GHz ranges. Moreover, free triggering (FemtoTrig®) and burst options as well as frequency conversion to the green and UV spectral region will leverage these femtosecond lasers into future industrial applications.
