Leading edge developer of high performance DPSS lasers on a compact architecture
Skylark Lasers is a laser development company specialising in the design and manufacture of continuous wave (CW) single frequency compact diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers.
We pursue the challenge of miniaturising laser technology to enable the world’s most demanding and cutting-edge applications – reducing cost, weight, and size while maximising power and performance.
Our team
From laser design through to software development, process engineering to electronic assembly, our team is driven to push the capabilities of laser technology — delivering higher output powers from a compact footprint.
Guided by our core values, we work collaboratively with our customers and research partners to understand their needs and tailor our lasers to their application.
Our technology
Our integrated monolithic technology produces the highest output power on a small footprint - combining the superior optical properties of solid-state lasers with the small form-factor, high-efficiency operation of laser diodes.
Our proprietary NX opto-mechanical platform enables the creation of robust, ultra-stable and repeatable lasers covering a wide range of the wavelength spectrum.
-
Start up repeatability < 3 GHz on our absolute wavelength specification
-
Narrow-linewidth operation < 200 kHz
-
Wavelength drift < 20 MHz over 24 hours
-
Intensity drift < 2 % over a 15°C temperature change
-
Reduced background noise and increased signal-to-noise ratio with side-band attenuation of > 70 dB
Due to significantly lower power consumption and simplified thermal management, our lasers provide improved output power scalability from a remarkably small footprint.
