ModeHybrid

Description:

ModeHybrid is a versatile high power fiber laser system with multiple outputs: 1560 nm, 1060 nm (up to 3W), and an octave-spanning supercontinum. Suited for most demanding scientific and industrial applications, like: laser spectroscopy, nonlinear frequency conversion, mid-infrared frequency comb generation, and many others.
