Chameleon Compact OPO - Introducing an automated ultrafast IR wavelength extension with exceptional wavelength flexibility. The new Chameleon Compact OPO combines with the Chamelon to offer gap free tuning between 680 nm and 1600 nm, with independent tuning of the laser and OPO wavelengths to offer unrivalled flexibility in two color applications

Verdi G-Series - Introducing an optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) version of the Verdi family, delivering 2 Watts and 5 Watts output power at 532 nm. The new Verdi G2 and G5 lasers, part of our new Verdi G Series based on Coherent's unique OPSL technology, provides the same power, low noise and high quality, single-spatial mode output as earlier 2 Watt and 5 Watt Verdi lasers based on DPSS technology, but now has a 50% smaller footprint and lower cost point.

1 kW, Fiber-Delivered Direct Diode Laser System for Industrial Applications - Introducing our first, fiber-delivered direct diode laser system for welding, cladding and heat treating applications. The HighLight 1000F is a high brightness laser system that produces 1 kW of output at 975 nm from a 600 µm core fiber having a numerical aperture of 0.22.

Coherent's New Solar Production Tools- Coherent launches its new line of Solar Production Tools, incorporating Coherent industry-proven laser sources and designed with tool and laser parameters optimized for any c-Si application.

AVIA™ 355-5 - UV Laser for High Throughput Sapphire Scribing
The AVIA 355-5 is a Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser that delivers 5W of 355 nm output at 50 kHz, and is suitable for operation at repetition rates of up to 150 kHz. Its combination of high repetition rate and short pulse length (<20 nsec at 5W) enables high throughput processing with minimal heat affected zone (HAZ).

Mamba 525W for Solar Cell Processing
Our Mamba 525W laser at 1064 nm delivers an unmatched combination of high reliability, long lifetime and minimal maintenance downtime. These lasers are primarily intended for high throughput materials processing applications such as edge deletion of solar panels and ITO patterning. 

Q-switched Lasers for High Throughput Applications
Our Matrix lasers with a new 532 nm wavelength, high power stability, and superior pointing stabiltiy are an excellent tool for applications such as P1/P2/P3 thin-film patterning of a:Si, CdTe, and CIGS solar cells; dicing, scribing, trimming of semiconductor materials, and cutting and drilling of polymers such as those used in medical techniques.
