The LUMIBIRD Group will be presenting MERION, its new diode-pumped solid-state laser platform, developed jointly by its French and US teams, at the Photonics West show. To meet the laser market’s diverse needs with reliable, high-performance and competitive solutions, LUMIBIRD’s product ranges are transitioning to an industrial platform model, as seen in the auto industry. At Photonics West, the international laser and photonics show, the Group will unveil its first platform model for diode-pumped solid-state lasers: MERION. This modular and versatile new laser platform will enable the LUMIBIRD Group to develop its business in various sectors, from environmental LiDARs to medical equipment and industrial instrumentation. Built around a core foundation that includes the electronics, software, pumping module, internal QCW diodes and wavelength conversion modules, LUMIBIRD will be able to produce a highly diverse range of lasers with different power levels (100 mJ to 1J), different frequencies (from a few dozen to 500 Hz) and variable wavelengths.
