The Hercules series ultrafast lasers deliver high-power, high-energy pulse outputs that are suitable for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. The 1030 nm models offer options of 200 W at 100 kHz and 300 W at 1 MHz, corresponding to pulse energies of 2 mJ and 300 μJ, respectively, with pulse durations under 400 fs. The 515 nm model provides 120 W at 1 MHz, with a pulse energy of 120 μJ and pulse duration below 350 fs.
All models operate in high-quality TEM₀₀ mode (M² ≤ 1.3) with beam circularity above 90%, ensuring excellent beam quality. The beam diameters are around 3.0 mm (2.0 mm for the 515 nm model), further contributing to stable and precise performance. Burst mode operation supports 1 to 10 pulses, offering flexibility for different experimental setups.
The lasers are designed with a compact footprint of 980 × 560 × 153 mm³ and feature water circulation cooling for efficient thermal management. They have a warm-up time of less than 15 minutes and are suitable for environments with temperatures between 22–30 °C and humidity below 60%.
These lasers support PSO/POD/Gate and TTL trigger modes, along with 0–5 V linear external power control for precise adjustment, allowing for seamless integration into various systems. With high power, excellent stability, and superior beam quality, the Hercules series is a top-performing choice in the ultrafast laser field.
