Variants and Power Levels

The SuperK FIANIUM series comprises the industry’s most efficient supercontinuum lasers, delivering the highest power in the visible range. High efficiency means greater reliability and less unwanted residual pump power at the output. You can obtain up to 2 W in the visible wavelength region.

If you need more power, you can easily modify the SuperK laser thanks to its modular design.

MODEL	POWER (350-850nm)	TOTAL POWER
SuperK FIANIUM FIU-6	0.6 W	2.2 W
SuperK FIANIUM FIU-15	1.5 W	5.5 W
SuperK FIANIUM FIR-20	2.0 W	6.5 W

Variable Repetition Rate (Pulse Picker)

The pulse picker option allows easy changing of the laser’s repetition rate while the system is running. 0.15-78 MHz is available as standard, making it the best choice for lifetime applications such as FLIM.

Other Options

– Custom MHz repetition rate on special order

– External power interlock
– Warranty extension available

Lifetime, Safety and Reliability

MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFETIME OF THOUSANDS OF HOURS

The SuperK series is based on NKT Photonics’ world-renowned Crystal Fibre technology, which has reliably delivered supercontinuum to both commercial and academic users for over 15 years.

Our lasers are fully monolithic, ensuring excellent reliability and a lifetime of thousands of hours – as well as maintenance-free and consistent operation. For scientific applications we offer a 2-year warranty.

NKT Photonics is the largest manufacturer of PCF technology, and reliability, quality and performance are ensured by processes certified to the DIN ISO 9000 standard. Continuous testing of multiple systems during and after the development phase has ensured the longest uninterrupted service life on the market.

SuperK FIANIUM is an economical and user-friendly alternative to Ti:Sapphire solutions.

SAFE OPERATION

Operating the SuperK FIANIUM is easy and intuitive for users from any discipline. Get a supercontinuum of light at the push of a single button!

The emission button allows you to switch the light on and off without having to reduce the optical power or wait for the system to warm up or cool down. In standby mode, the laser remembers the last power setting or the current setting and returns to the same level when emission is switched on again.

You can access all laser functions from the SuperK CONTROL graphical user interface on a PC.

ROBUST, MAINTENANCE-FREE

The robust system is fully modular, enabling easy operation and service, where accessory modules can be added without configuration – all plug & play.

Functions can be changed on the fly without shutting down the system.

High Beam Quality

The SuperK FIANIUM series is ideal for applications requiring high beam performance. The diffraction-limited output of the patented collimator design ensures excellent single-mode, broadband collimation at high power.

Filtering and beam-steering operations are performed precisely thanks to high pointing accuracy and broadband beam collimation. Finally, the excellent single-mode Gaussian beam quality enables coupling of light back into a single-mode fiber with an efficiency of up to 70%.

Accessories and Plug & Play

The SuperK FIANIUM series has a range of features allowing the user to monitor and expand the source’s functions. Standard trigger and output synchronization functions such as NIM are used for hardware control.

Signals are available for monitoring the status of the SuperK FIANIUM series at variable repetition rate. More importantly, the series is equipped with a digital communication bus interface for intelligent communication with the SuperK Accessory suite.
