Model Number Interpretation
Based on MPB’s product line specifications :
| Component | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| MLFL | Mode-Locked Fiber Laser |
| P | Picosecond pulse duration |
| 5 | Pulse duration: ~5 picoseconds |
| 80 | Repetition rate: ~80 MHz |
| 1060 | Emission wavelength: 1060 nm |
| 3000 | Nominal output power with booster: 3000 mW (this unit exceeds at 4000 mW) |
This configuration represents a high-power booster amplifier stage, delivering significantly more output than the seed-only or preamplifier versions.
