Raydiance Proprietary: Do not Distribute Without Permission
UltraShort Pulse (USP) Lasers
• Immense power in each pulse• Non-thermal, precision ablation • Little or no trauma/damage to remaining material• Ablates any material• Diagnostics, sensing, other non-ablative properties• One source, many uses

Interesting capabilities, but impractical
Compelling Capabilities, but…
Experimentation and Exploration are DifficultRequires Ph.D.’s to operate and maintain
Very Expensive Impractical/Impossible to Deploy

Until Raydiance…
We took complicated apparatus and turned it into this:
• Pulse width: < 3 ps• M2 < 1.8• Average Power: 2.5 W
• Any room, 110 v outlet (800 W)• Pulse energy: 1 to 5 µJ • Wavelength: 1552.5 µm• Pulse rate: 25 kHz - 500 kHz

Fiber & Integrated Hardware
• Use off-the-shelf fiber optics for seed & pre-amp stages• Team with strategic partners for subassemblies• Build what we can’t buy• There are constraints…• Peak power density very high in fiber
• Operation near damage threshold• Optical nonlinearities
• Novel fibers require special attention• Multimode effects• Parasitic energy losses due to high dopant levels
