MKS Instruments, Inc. announced that its Spectra-Physics business unit introduces IceFyreTM, a compact, high power industrial picosecond hybrid fiber laser with industry-changing cost-performance. IceFyre delivers exceptional performance with high power and short picosecond pulses as well as unprecedented versatility for process optimization with adjustable repetition rates, TimeShift™ ps programmable pulse flexibility, and pulse-on-demand triggering. Combining power supply and laser head in a single rugged and compact package, IceFyre is easy to integrate into machine tools and systems and has proven reliability and stability. The new laser is ideal for picosecond cold micromachining in high throughput, precision manufacturing of sapphire, glass, ceramics, fine metals, plastics, and other materials and devices. IceFyre delivers >50 W average power and up to >200 µJ pulse energy at 1,064 nm with adjustable repetition rates from single shot up to 8 MHz. The new laser’s TimeShift™ ps programmable pulse capability results in flexible burst mode operation with adjustable burst shape, pulse separation and number of pulses in burst, all with high power available for laser process optimization. IceFyre is an “It’s in the Box™” laser that integrates laser head and power supply into a single lightweight and compact unit. IceFyre is ideal for applications in high throughput, precision manufacturing of displays, semiconductors, electronic components, medical devices and fine metal parts.
