The Kinos is a versatile picosecond OEM fiber laser at 1064 nm comprising a gain-switched distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode and an efficient fiber amplifier in a single package. Optimized for operation around 1 MHz repetition rate, it is ideally suited as a seed laser for industrial applications where high pulse energy is desired. The DFB seed’s narrow linewidth also makes Kinos excellent for sensing applications and efficient nonlinear frequency conversion. The diode-based seed together with polarization-maintaining design guarantee maintenance-free long-term operation.

The Kinos is rated for operation between 0.5-10 MHz repetition frequencies. Other repetition frequencies are accessible by using external triggering. There are two models with different pulse durations available, both with > 500 W peak power at 1 MHz. Control interface USB and RS232 via GUI or command library. The passively cooled, extremely compact < 1.2 liter housing allows the cost-efficient Kinos to be easily integrated into larger optical systems.
