| ADVERTISEMENT Ultrafast fiber laser: 30 fs now with 3 W |
| HÜBNER Photonics announces a higher power model of the VALO Tidal femtosecond laser. Now available with 3 W, the VALO Tidal delivers pulse durations of typically 30 fs in a compact and robust footprint, making it perfect for multiphoton imaging, broadband terahertz generation, and nonlinear wafer inspection. |
