The new Leopard™ series picosecond lasers from Continuum® represents the highest level of technology available in a commercial system. The passive negative feedback employed in the oscillator allows for controlled energy extraction rates from the gain media resulting in exceptionally long and stable pulse trains.

The Leopard™ D provides the shortest pulses available without the high cost and complexity of a regenerative amplifier. The use of a solid state saturable absorber in the LeopardTM SS eliminates the difficulty of working with dyes, resulting in the most turnkey and modestly priced picosecond laser available.
