The Firebird is our high power (1000W) laser designed for a range of high speed imaging applications including Flame penetration.
Created to be used for illuminating bright events, the Firebird is a high speed imaging laser which can be triggered by most cameras straight out of the box. The versatile triggering control options allow the laser to capture frame-straddled PIV images (or time-resolved images) at frame rates up to 50kHz continuously.
The same compact controller is used in both the Firefly and the Firebird lasers. This controller simplifies set-up and has proven a hit with many of our customers worldwide.
Machined from block aluminium, the Firebird features a robust splash-proof housing surrounding the laser head with an adjustable, built-in lens to illuminate areas with a cross-section from 25mm-150mm.
The air-cooled head is splash-proof, however, a fully waterproof version is available if you need to fully submerge the unit for underwater measurements.
Please contact us for more information on the range of accessories available for the Firebird.
