Menlo Systems’ femtosecond fiber laser integrates the latest developments in fiber technology
and incorporates these enhancements into an easy-to-use solution.
Our patented figure 9® technology delivers reliable and consistent mode-locking, which is ideally suited to ensure long-term stable operation in demanding environments. The YLMO-930
with its PM-fiber design guarantees excellent stability and consistent long-term performance.
The YLMO-930 is engineered with life science applications in mind. The pulses can be prechirped to attain their shortest width within their intended target sample.
The installation of the laser system is as easy as it gets, taking only a few minutes. For easeof operation, the laser is switched on by the push of a single button. The maintenance free
operation translates to a worry-free device that enables our customers to focus their time andresources on their actual application.

Get higher multi-photon signals with theYLMO-930 using higher pulse energy
levels. The repetition rate of 50 MHz allows
to have higher multi-photon signals whenusing low average powers. Highest signal minimal heating of the sample.
