Oxford Lasers FireBIRD 1000 W laser illumination for high-speed imaging

Introducing Oxford Lasers FireBIRD 1000 W Laser Illumination

Oxford Lasers’ Powerful FireBIRD Laser Comes of Age 1000 W Short-Pulsed Laser Light Source for Advanced Imaging Techniques Oxford Lasers presents our most powerful short-pulsed laser illumination system, the 1000 W FireBIRD laser for high definition, ultra high-speed imaging. As the big brother to Oxford Lasers’ FireFLY 500 W laser, the FireBIRD now boasts up to 10 MHz pulse frequency with 15 nano second pulse duration and 2% duty cycle means the Oxford Lasers system outperforms standard industry models of imaging illumination. Our laser-based technology enables ultra-high clarity for advanced imaging techniques. Seamlessly synchronising with high-speed monochrome cameras, the FireBIRD uses a single controller
