Features

Overview

The IceFyre FS UV50 laser is an extraordinary leap forward in industrial femtosecond UV laser technology, delivering industry-leading performance, versatility, reliability and cost of ownership. The IceFyre FS UV50 laser is ideal for high throughput, highest quality micromachining of critical materials including polymers, metals, semiconductors, thin films and composites for demanding consumer electronics, clean energy, medical device, and industrial applications. Based on Spectra-Physics’ It’s in the Box™ design, IceFyre FS UV50 integrates laser and control electronics in a single, easy-to-install package.

Exceptional Versatility for Optimal Process Performance

IceFyre FS UV50 is the highest performing UV femtosecond laser on the market, providing >50 W of UV output power, >50 μJ pulse energy, and pulse widths of <500 fs. The laser offers exceptional versatility for optimal process performance with adjustable repetition rates from single shot to 3 MHz, pulse-on-demand (POD) and position-synchronized output (PSO) triggering, and TimeShift™ programmable pulse capability for flexible burst-mode operation.

24/7 Industrial Reliability

Building on MKS’ deep experience and technology, IceFyre FS lasers pass extensive environmental qualification testing to ensure high reliability and low cost-of-ownership. Fully automated and computer controlled, the laser exhibits exceptional stability in power, beam parameters, and beam pointing during 24/7 operation to deliver high precision and reproducibility for demanding applications.

Accessories

Compatible Power Sensors

To verify and analyze the output power of your IceFyre laser, we recommend the Ophir F80(120)A-CM-17 (7Z07103) thermal power sensor and Centauri laser power meter.  Additional information on this laser measurement equipment can be found on the ophiropt.com website.  Other Ophir sensors and meters may also be suitable for the IceFyre, depending on application. Ophir also works with laser system developers to achieve embedded beam diagnostics to monitor system performance as an OEM solution.
