FireBIRD LLG

Oxford Lasers' FireBIRD Series offers high-powered solutions for bright event imaging. With its powerful 1000W light source and short-pulsed laser capabilities, it's an essential tool for high-speed and precision applications for industy and labs.

Overview

The FireBIRD LLG laser illumination systems from Oxford Lasers represent the pinnacle of high-powered, short-pulsed laser technology, designed specifically for high-speed and bright-event imaging. These advanced systems synchronize effortlessly with high-speed cameras to capture the highest quality images of complex and dynamic processes. The FireBIRD LLG is available in two models: the LLG (Liquid Light Guide), which features a flexible light guide, and the DAI (Direct Area Illumination), which has the optics output directly affixed to the laser head. Both models deliver powerful, precise illumination tailored for high-performance imaging applications.


The FireBIRD LLG systems operate on a single wavelength (808nm), making them ideal for capturing detailed images of fast-paced events and bright scenarios that standard illumination techniques cannot handle. This capability is crucial for viewing and analyzing phenomena like welding, energetic events, and other high-dynamic processes. By providing robust, high-quality laser illumination, the FireBIRD LLG enables users to achieve superior imaging results, thus advancing their understanding and optimization of critical processes.
