Meet SuperLight Photonics at SPIE Photonics West

SuperLight Photonics Unveils World’s First Portable Wideband Laser

​

Enschede, 18 January 2024 – SuperLight Photonics, a pioneer company for supercontinuum lasers, will showcase the SLP-1000, the first portable wideband laser, at SPIE Photonics West. Its innovative concept stands out in the industry and offers a portable, high-quality, coherent, and unrivaled light source for industrial, agricultural, and biomedical imaging applications.

​

Traditionally, supercontinuum lasers have been bulky, heavy, and power-hungry, limiting their applications. SuperLight Photonics has redefined this landscape by miniaturizing the supercontinuum laser into a handheld Photon-IC (PIC) device, an industry first. 

​

The SLP-1000 leverages a PIC (Photon-IC) solution based on the patented PAD - Patterned Alternating Dispersion™ mechanism. It offers superior coherent light quality with high brightness and power, resulting in high-quality, smooth spectral output with record-wide bandwidth. The output is fully time coherent and spatially coherent over the whole spectrum. PAD™ will be the core of many more interesting features Superlight Photonics will bring to the market in the near future.

​

The SLP-1000 is unique with its small form factor and low weight. It is extremely energy efficient and can be battery operated, making it a truly portable solution. The SLP-1000 is easy to install and use, it is plug-and-play and has no complicated support infrastructure. It provides a maintenance-free operation with a fast start-up time and since no (re-)calibration is required, downtime is minimized. Finally, the SLP-1000 is a durable solution and is a perfect alternative for halogen light sources, offering at least 5x longer lifetime.
 

​

Cees Links, CEO of SuperLight Photonics, expresses excitement about showcasing the innovative supercontinuum laser solution at Photonics West. He states, "Our SCG laser miniaturized to a Photon-IC stands out in the industry, earning high customer traction and market interest. The SLP-1000 is a perfect fit for forensics, agriculture, biomedical, and spectroscopy applications. To better understand the advantages of wideband lasers compared to monochromatic lasers, consider the difference between color TVs and black-and-white TVs: the superiority of the color TV doesn’t need additional explanation."
