M-FEMTO-LAB-1053 - Lab-style 200fs Seed Oscillator for Nd:Glass Systems [PR169]

For research and academic purposes, this breadboard-style 1053nm, 200fs (or pls. specify) laser seed oscillator could become your lab engine – it is a lab-type, accessible femtosecond modelocked laser oscillator tunable towards 1053nm.  It has the same cavity layout as the other M-FEMTO setups but is optimized and tuned for this center wavelength. As all M-FEMTO lasers, it is based on a diode-pumped solid-state laser, which is pumped by an external fiber-coupled laser diode, and pulse formation is done by soliton modelocking, resulting in clean, sech2-shaped pulses with high pulse contrast. Synchronization option is available (SYNC).  Operation in clean environment is recommended.

Average output power 0.25 W
Pulse energy, max. nJ ... uJ
Pulse duration (FWHM) 200 fs
Wavelength (center) 1053 nm

Product-Sheet

 

For research and academic purposes, this breadboard-style 1053nm, 200fs (or pls. specify) laser seed oscillator could become your lab engine – it is a lab-type, accessible femtosecond modelocked laser oscillator tunable towards 1053nm.  It has the same cavity layout as the other M-FEMTO setups but is optimized and tuned for this center wavelength. As all M-FEMTO lasers, it is based on a diode-pumped solid-state laser, which is pumped by an external fiber-coupled laser diode, and pulse formation is done by soliton modelocking, resulting in clean, sech2-shaped pulses with high pulse contrast. Included is the 19" rack compatible laser controller with integrated fiber-coupled pump laser diode. Synchronization option is available (SYNC).

 

Pulsed, modelocked operation is self-starting and the 200fs operation shows excellent stability with respect to noise, modelocked-Q-switching instabilities and double pulsing. Modelocking is initiated by a Semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SeSAM) optimized for this pulse regime. The user can open the lid and make changes or additions to the laser as he wishes. This provides ultrafast laser research groups with an easy and cost-effective jump start to get going with ultrafast laser pulses around 1053nm for leading research applications.

 

Requires for operation: LDC-1000-980-LP Laser Diode Controller (included, 19" rack with 3 HU), or equivalent.

 

Operation in clean environment is recommended.

 

Applications include seeding of amplifiers, in particular Nd:Glass laser systems (1053nm).
