Ease of use
High brightness
The SuperK EVO has a very high brightness across the 425 2400 nm range.
High repetition rate
With a standard repetition rate of 20 or 30MHz, the EVO isperfectly suited for Test & Measurement and optical device
characterization.
Graphical user interface and software development kit
The SuperK EVO is compatible with all existing SuperK filters
and accessories.
Get an utmost user-friendly operation through our NKT Photonics CONTROL software or a direct interface through the freesoftware development kit.

NKT Photonics
CONTROL
Like other NKT Photonics lasers, the SuperK EVO canbe controlled by our intuitive
CONTROL software that gives
easy access to all laser functions. The software automatically detects all units attachedto the computer.
You can control the source
and any filtering accessories
from CONTROL. It is easy touse and supports touch input
as well as traditional
mouse+keybord control.
