The FireBIRD is our high power (1000W) laser designed as a light source for a range of high-speed imaging applications in bright and energetic events.
Created to be used for illuminating bright events, the FireBIRD is a high speed imaging short-pulsed laser light source which can be triggered by most cameras straight out of the box.
Machined from block aluminium, the FireBIRD features a robust splash-proof housing surrounding the air-cooled laser head and comes in two varieties:
FireBIRD LLG with a flexible light guide delivery system to adjust light source placement.
FireBIRD DAI with a static direct area diffuser.
