FAQs
for Jasper Micro Ultra-Compact Femtosecond Laser – 7 W, 5 µJ
Jasper Micro generates ultrashort pulses with durations below 250 fs and allows pulse-width tuning up to 8 ps. An optional configuration can extend the maximum pulse duration to around 20 ps, enabling optimisation for both ultra-precise ablation and more moderate material interaction.
No. The Jasper Micro is air-cooled and uses a passive, fanless laser head, so no water cooling or external chiller is required. This reduces installation complexity, footprint, and maintenance demands.
The system includes an integrated pulse picker that enables flexible repetition-rate control from single-shot operation up to 20 MHz. This allows individual pulse triggering on demand as well as stable high-rate operation for throughput-focused processes.
Jasper Micro supports multiple control options including an included USB GUI, SCPI over RS-232, TTL inputs, and analogue control inputs. These interfaces make it suitable for laboratory use, automation, and OEM system integration.
Typical uses include micromachining, fine cutting, drilling, and surface structuring where minimal thermal damage is essential. It is also well suited to ophthalmology, multiphoton microscopy, two-photon polymerisation, and advanced work in microelectronics and materials research.
Yes. An optional Custom Envelope Burst (CEB) mode is available, allowing bursts of multiple femtosecond pulses with controlled energy distribution inside the burst. This can help optimise drilling, ablation, and other precision processing tasks.
Yes. Optional harmonic modules are available to convert the standard 1030 nm output to 515 nm green or 343 nm UV, extending the laser’s usefulness for materials and applications that benefit from shorter wavelengths.
The all-fibre, SESAM-free architecture is designed for stable long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The oscillator is backed by a 5-year warranty and the full system by a 2-year warranty, while routine care is generally limited to keeping the system clean and ensuring proper airflow.
