The Ivy is the first all-in-one mid-infrared laser on the market with pulse duration in the range of a few nanoseconds, hitting the sweet spot for processing materials with high water content.
O-H bonds are excited on a time scale significantly faster than thermal diffusion, leading to very precise and efficient material modification with minimal collateral damage.
The short pulses and high peak powers in the range of multiple kW enable applications like high resolution mass spectrometry, pharmaceutical end of manufacturing line testing, trimming of photonic integrated circuits, modification of semiconductors in the bulk and mid-infrared photothermal microscopy.
The Ivy can be operated in the master mode using the internal clock and providing the user a trigger signal from the internal photodiode, or in slave mode, where the laser is triggered externally.
The repetition rate can be adjusted. The laser comes with a simple graphical user interface, and can be controlled remotely via USB, Ethernet or RS-232 port.
