Laser light source.

SuperLight Photonics has announced the SLP-2000, a compact full-spectrum SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) supercontinuum laser that expands the company’s broadband light-source portfolio.

Engineered for both stationary and mobile integration, the SLP-2000 is a SWIR supercontinuum laser with ultra-low noise output in a compact, maintenance-free platform. Its spectrum is matched to the InGaAs detector high-efficiency range, ensuring uniform spectral power density where near IR systems are most efficient, therefore making it ideal for non-destructive, high-resolution and real-time OCT and cross-sectional imaging without complex multi-laser architectures. Utilizing PAD - Patterned Alternating Dispersion™ technology, the SLP-2000 delivers a coherent, wide-bandwidth output in a small-form-factor source ready for OEM and instrument-level integration.

Covering the two most in-demand OCT wavelengths - 1060 nm and 1300 nm - the SLP-2000 enables deeper tissue penetration, improved contrast, and reduced water absorption at 1300 nm for dermatology and internal imaging, while 1060 nm offers a versatile balance of resolution and depth for retinal, anterior eye segment, and neuroimaging applications. In industrial and metrology environments, the SLP-2000 delivers exceptional performance for non-destructive testing of composites and semiconductors, coating thickness measurement, packaging and sealing inspection, and transparent material 3D imaging.

Jeroen Biesterbos, CCO of SuperLight Photonics states: “Our innovative SLP-2000 delivers unmatched versatility and precision for OCT and advanced spectroscopy. The launch of this new device completes our product portfolio and together with the SLP-1050, we cover the full spectrum from 900 to 2500 nm. Our solution will elevate operations and quality standards in inspection and material analysis, process and quality control. Our customers confirm that it is ideally suited for fiber component and photonic device testing. In OCT, it offers new paths to deeper penetration, higher contrast in challenging tissues, and real-time imaging performance, enabling applications previously limited by spectral bandwidth or noise instability.”

Breakthrough light source for spectroscopy applications.

Combines high brightness and high spectral stability enabling high sensitivity & short integration times

SuperLight Photonics has announced a major advancement in industrial spectroscopy with its compact, high-performance light source, purpose-built for the most demanding high-speed measurement applications.

Spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique that measures how materials interact with light - through absorption, transmission, or emission - providing detailed insights into their chemical composition and physical properties.

Many of today’s spectroscopy systems use halogen light sources, which couple poorly into optical fibers, resulting in significant power loss. To compensate, they require long integration times, making them unsuitable for fast-paced industrial or medical applications. Wideband lasers offer far more efficient fiber coupling, delivering significantly higher brightness than halogen sources. However, traditional wideband lasers suffer from spectral instability, which often requires averaging across thousands of pulses. This again limits their use in high-speed industrial environments where real-time performance is critical.

Designed to transform spectroscopy in production environments, SuperLight Photonics’ latest solution delivers exceptional results compared to traditional light sources. Its spectral stability is unprecedented relative to legacy supercontinuum lasers, and its brightness outclasses halogen-based alternatives. Its combination of high sensitivity, short integration times, and its miniaturized, portable form factor enables rapid inline spectroscopy analysis.

Jeroen Biesterbos, CCO of SuperLight Photonics states: “Our technology delivers an alternative light source to traditional halogen and laser-based spectroscopy systems. By combining exceptional spectral stability, high brightness, and a compact form factor, we enable real-time, inline testing and analysis, bringing high-performance spectroscopy directly to the production line for demanding industrial applications.”

Key advantages of the SLP-1050 Wideband Light Source:

• Fast, real-time measurements to support high-throughput industrial processes
• Superior spectral stability, the SLP-1050 improves spectral stability by an order of magnitude vs. legacy supercontinuum sources
• Class IIIb laser enables use in manufacturing environments with minimal safety requirements, allowing operation by non-specialist personnel
• Effortless integration for easy adoption in OEM and industrial setups
• Compact design optimized for space-constrained setups and integration into portable or mobile instruments
• Ideal for inline spectroscopy, ensuring process control without interruption

"This new generation of wideband light source is set to drive higher quality control standards in sectors such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and materials manufacturing."
