Since Applied Energetics’ inception, a detailed
and thorough understanding of ultra-short pulse
(USP) lasers has been required for the Depart-
ment of Defense (DoD) research contracts. AE
has a dedicated team of scientists, engineers,
and technicians focused on the research, devel-
opment, operation, and applications of USP
lasers. The USP lasers available from AE are
uniquely suited to deliver the pulse energy
intensities required for demanding applications
such as optical filament research, micro-
machining, solar cell scribing, time-resolved
spectroscopy, and many others.
The system pictured below is capable of:
• 10mJ at 1 kHz
• Pulse width <2ps
• M2
< 3
• Turn-key operation
• Benefits of a minimal optics design are:
∗ Low maintenance
∗ High reliability
• Optional pulse stretcher & compressor
• Customized controls
• Built in diagnostics: energy, pulse stability,
auto-correlator, wavelength control
Features
The Transportable Demonstrator pictured below
was built to study laser-atmospheric interactions
in a wide variety of environments and over long
ranges. Unique features:
• vehicle-based mobile laser laboratory
• 5 terawatts peak power
• 130 fs USP laser system
• high-energy pulse, > 400mJ at 10 Hz
• motion-stabilized beam delivery
