Coherent has introduced Osprey, a compact femtosecond laser designed for applications in optogenetics, microsurgery, and medical device manufacturing. Engineered for consistent performance, the Osprey delivers pulse energies of up to 5 µJ with pulse durations under 350 femtoseconds. The system features high beam quality and strong pointing stability, and operates on less than 150 watts of power from a standard 24 V DC supply. Its fiber-based design makes it well-suited for integration into medical instruments and microscopes. “We designed Osprey to deliver clean, stable, high-quality femtosecond pulses with minimal power draw and maximum system stability – a game-changer for medical and life sciences applications,” stated Dr. Chris Dorman, Executive Vice President of Lasers Business Group at Coherent.
The launch reflects a growing demand for ultrafast lasers in clinical and industrial settings. Osprey uses solid-core fibers resistant to aging and features built-in AOM and dispersion pre-compensation, enabling stable operation across complex optical paths, such as those used in imaging and fiber delivery systems. It complements Coherent’s broader ultrafast laser lineup, including Monaco and Axon, offering a full range of tools for advanced imaging and surgical workflows. These capabilities position Osprey as a practical solution for high-precision biomedical tasks.
