Horizon V2 Supercontinuum Laser: Ultra Flat Spectrum and Outstanding Power Stability for Advanced Photonics

The FYLA Horizon V2 Supercontinuum Fiber Laser represents a significant advancement in optical source technology, meticulously engineered to provide unparalleled performance for the most demanding spectroscopy, microscopy, and imaging applications. This state-of-the-art supercontinuum laser source delivers an ultra-flat and exceptionally clean output spectrum, a crucial feature that ensures measurement fidelity and simplifies system calibration. The spectrum spans an impressive range from the visible at 410 nm well into the short-wave infrared at 2300 nm.

Key Highlights at a Glance

• Ultra Flat Spectrum – The uniformity of the output power across the entire 410 nm to 2300 nm range ensures consistent light delivery to the sample, minimizing the need for complex, wavelength-dependent power correction. A primary design focus was the elimination of spurious spectral peaks and unwanted modulations often found in conventional supercontinuum sources.

• High Average Power and Stability – With an average total power of 4W and a power stability within 0.5% (std. dev), Horizon provides sufficient power and stability for most applications.

• Ultra-Broad Spectral Coverage – The extensive wavelength range opens up a vast number of research and industrial opportunities, allowing a single source to serve applications from the blue to molecular fingerprinting in the SWIR

• High Spatial Coherence – As a fiber-laser-based source, the Horizon delivers light with inherently high spatial coherence, resulting in a diffraction-limited, near-perfect Gaussian output beam. This characteristic is essential for efficient coupling into single-mode fibers, beam shaping, and for applications requiring fine focus and high resolution.

Robustness and Integration

Designed for technical users who demand reliability alongside performance, the Horizon V2 Supercontinuum Fiber Laser is built for seamless integration into diverse environments. Whether it is being deployed within a cutting-edge university research laboratory pushing the boundaries of light-matter interaction, or integrated into a demanding industrial inspection system requiring 24/7 operation, the Horizon provides a robust, maintenance-free, and high-performance optical solution. This reliability is critical for ensuring accurate, consistent, and reproducible results across all phases of research, development, and quality control.

Flat Spectrum Supercontinuum Laser Applications

The synergy of high spatial coherence, exceptionally broad spectral coverage, and unmatched spectral flatness allows the Horizon system to significantly outperform existing supercontinuum lasers and traditional lamp or broadband sources. It is the definitive illumination source for next-generation scientific and industrial applications requiring precise, consistent, and high-quality light:

• Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM) and Spectroscopy: The broad spectrum and high power stability make it ideal for exciting multiple fluorophores simultaneously and accurately determining their decay kinetics.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Multi-Photon Microscopy: Its ultra-broad bandwidth is leveraged to achieve exceptionally high axial (depth) resolution in OCT, while the high peak power supports advanced non-linear microscopy techniques.
• Precision Metrology and Sensing: The consistent, stable output is critical for high-accuracy applications such as wafer inspection, film thickness measurements, and gas sensing, where even minor source fluctuations can introduce significant errors.
• Hyperspectral Imaging: The continuous, artifact-free spectrum provides the ideal foundation for high-fidelity spectral analysis across a wide field of view.
