Description
High-energy and high-power water-cooled Atlantic series picosecond lasers are designed for a variety of industrial applications.
Suitable for LCD or OLED display cutting and drilling, laser induced forward transfer (LIFT), glass and sapphire processing, micromachining of ultra-hard materials, ablation of metals, cutting and drilling of polymers, silicon scribing, solar cell scribing and many more.
Superior beam quality parameters, maximum available average power (80 W @ IR / 40 W @ VIS / 30 W @ UV), maximum available pulse energy (200 μJ @ IR / 100 μJ @ VIS / 75 μJ @ UV) and maximum pulse repetition rate (up to 1 MHz) are beneficial where high processing quality and high throughput are required.
To tailor laser performance for specific industrial applications, advanced electronics enable external gating (including PSO), synchronization and precise laser triggering as well as instant signal amplitude control.
To maintain reliability and assure long-term stable operation in an industrial environment, optical components are installed in a sealed, robust, precisely machined monolithic aluminum block. Designed for robust, low maintenance operation, Atlantic series lasers offer maximum reliability due to an optimized layout, PC controlled operation, a built-in self-diagnostic system and advanced status reporting.

Designed for robust, low maintenance operation, Atlantic series lasers offer maximum reliability due to an optimized layout, PC controlled operation, a built-in self-diagnostic system and advanced status reporting.
For industrial high-power UV laser applications, high reliability and low ownership cost of UV components is crucial. To meet these requirements, the optical layouts of Atlantic UV models are optimized for longevity and stable operation in the UV range, resulting in a UV optics lifetime of 8,000 hours.
A unique optional feature of Atlantic high-power lasers is that they can work in both picosecond and nanosecond modes. This 2-in-1 laser solution is beneficial for some materials processing (such as glass or ceramics), where both very high accuracy, low processed surface roughness and high throughput are required at low cost.

- Due to continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice. Parameters marked typical are not specifications. They are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture.
- Can be ordered either in a single output or in 2 or 3 separate harmonics outputs versions.
- When frequency divider is set to transmit every pulse.
- See typical power and energy curves for other pulse repetition rates.
- At the lowest PRRL after warm-up under constant environmental conditions.
- At the lowest PRRL under constant environmental conditions.
