The Spitfire Ace regenerative amplifier from Spectra-Physics is suitable for pumping multiple optical parametric amplifier systems and performing a range of ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy science.
The Spitfire Ace amplifier is said to offer guaranteed long-term performance and delivers average power of more than 5W at 1, 5, and 10kHz with good (M2<1.3) beam quality.
The Spitfire Ace system is equipped with Xpert technology, which is said to ensure maximum stability with guaranteed, reliable performance over hundreds of hours.
It is designed for use with Mai Tai seed laser and Empower pump laser platforms.
The Empower 45 pump laser delivers more than 45W of average power at 5kHz and is equipped with the company's proprietary noise-reduction technology.
Spectra-Physics said the Spitfire Ace performs optimally when seeded with the Mai Tai SP oscillator.
The hands-free Mai Tai SP laser does not require alignment, cleaning or adjustments and its specifications are guaranteed over an extended 20C temperature range.
