Holmium Pumping
Futonics thulium fiber lasers in the 2 µm wavelength range are suitable as high-performance pump sources for holmium lasers, Raman lasers, optical parametric oscillators and other scientific laser systems. With their high beam quality, stable output power and precise wavelength characteristics, they are particularly relevant for research, development and industrial laser integration.
Futonics laser systems support scientists, research institutions and professional engineers in the development of custom laser sources, optical systems and experimental setups for generating long-wavelength radiation, ultrafast pulses or Q-switched lasers.
Pumping of holmium-doped laser media
Due to their adapted wavelengths, Futonics 2 µm fiber lasers are particularly well suited for pumping holmium-doped gain media. These include Ho:YAG, Ho:YLF and holmium-doped tungstates. These materials are used for laser sources in the mid-infrared range, medical laser systems, scientific experiments and industrial high-power applications.
With high beam quality and stable output power, Futonics lasers enable efficient coupling into holmium-doped crystals or other gain media. This makes them suitable for applications requiring reproducible pump conditions, controlled power and reliable continuous operation.

Raman lasers and Raman shifting
In addition to holmium lasers, Futonics thulium fiber lasers can also be used for Raman shifting and the development of Raman laser systems. The 2 µm radiation can be coupled into Raman crystals or Raman fibers to access new wavelength ranges.
This makes Futonics lasers flexible pump sources for research applications that require long-wavelength radiation, nonlinear frequency conversion or spectral extension.

OPO pumping and further scientific applications
Futonics fiber lasers can also be used as pump sources for optical parametric oscillators, OPOs, and other nonlinear optical systems. Their stable output power and high beam quality make them suitable for experimental setups requiring a precise and reliable pump source.
Further possible applications include:
- Pumping of Ho:YAG lasers
