A new age of mid-infrared tools
Mirage Photonics is proud to be involved in the demonstration at the University of Adelaide of the first ultrafast fiber laser operating in the 3.5 μm band. 580 femto-second long pulses with a peak power of 5.5 kW were obtained using Mirage Photonics TFL-2000 pump source.
