PHAROS is a series of femtosecond lasers engineered for both scientific and industrial applications, delivering high pulse energy and average power. The lasers feature a compact, thermally-stabilized, and sealed design, ensuring easy integration into optical setups and machining workstations. The robust design extends laser lifetime and offers stable operation across varying environments. PHAROS systems cover a broad range of applications typically requiring multiple laser systems, with tunable parameters such as pulse duration (100 fs to 20 ps), repetition rate (single-shot to 1 MHz), pulse energy (up to 4 mJ), and average power (up to 20 W). A pulse-on-demand mode is available via a built-in pulse picker. The versatility of PHAROS can be further enhanced with options like CEP stabilization, repetition rate locking, automated harmonic modules, and optical parametric amplifiers.
