Detailed description

FemtoLAB is a perfect choice for scientific laboratories and R&D centers, requiring custom solutions for various tasks. It is an entire laser laboratory on an optical table – equipped with a high-end industrial-grade femtosecond laser, high accuracy linear positioning stages, high-performance galvanometer scanners, and versatile micromachining software SCA. Our long-term expertise allows optimizing FemtoLAB workstation to save experiment time and facilitate the training of new users. It becomes very important for laboratories with more researchers. FemtoLAB flexibility allows us to expand and upgrade the system when new requirements arise.

Principle configuration

  • Laser source
  • Sample positioning system
  • Beam delivery and scanning unit
  • Laser power and polarization control
  • Software for system control (autofocusing and machine vision on request)
  • Sample holders and special mechanics (sample handling automation on request)
  • Optical table
  • Enclosure (full or partial)
  • Dust removal unit
  • Laser system is automated with micromachining software SCA. This software is an essential part of the laser system and is not sold separately.
