CARBIDE lasers, equipped with automated harmonic generators, provide a selection of fundamental (1030 nm), second (515 nm), third (343 nm), fourth (257 nm), or fifth (206 nm) harmonic outputs using software control. These harmonic generators are ideal for industrial applications requiring single-wavelength outputs. Fully integrated into the system, the modules are mounted directly at the laser output.

The CARBIDE laser’s 50 W UV model expands capabilities in micromachining and other advanced applications. Despite its enhanced performance, it retains the compact footprint, stability, and beam quality of the standard CARBIDE laser with harmonics.
