Profile: RPMC Lasers, Inc. offers diode lasers, diode and lamp pumped lasers, and fiber lasers. Picosecond lasers can utilize either a passively q-switched or an actively q-switched seed laser. These seed sources can either be in the form or a free-space laser or a fiber laser. That seed source is then amplified through one or multiple amplification stages; depending on the output power requirements. The primary application for picosecond lasers is micro-machining. Picosecond lasers are an ideal tool for applications where micro-cracks, heat affected zone (or HAZ), and recast, are detrimental to the integrity or lifetime of the material being processed.
