The Chromacity 520 is a fixed wavelength laser source that delivers femtosecond pulses with high average power in the green.
Pumped by high quality pulses from our Chromacity 1040, second-harmonic light at 520 nm is efficiently generated with sub-150-fs pulse durations.
An integrated option, with the SHG crystal incorporated within the laser head. This offers more than 500 mW of average power.
A separate SHG module that can be used in conjunction with a standalone Chromacity 1040 laser. This offers > 1 W of average power.
