Low timing jitter, low amplitude noise and automatic or manual mode-locking are features of these easy-to-operate lasers
Calmar Optcom has introduced a family of high speed femto and pico-second fibre lasers that are tunable over the range 765nm to 780nm.
The FPL range offers femtosecond fibre lasers producing output pulses of high optical quality, with widths of 150fs to 400fs and peak powers of 300W to 2kW depending on the model chosen.
A pulse repetition rate of 20MHz is standard, and other rates from 10MHz to 100MHz are available.
The PSL series provides picosecond fibre lasers operating nominally at 10GHz and 40GHz with pulse widths less than 1.5ps.
The 10MHz version has a pulse repetition frequency adjustable from 5 to 13GHz and outputs up to 100mW optical power.
The 40GHz model runs from 38 to 41GHz with better than 25mW of output power.
Low timing jitter, low amplitude noise and automatic or manual mode-locking are features of these easy-to-operate lasers.
When combined with Calmar's bit rate multipliers, pulse repetition rates of up to 640GHz are possible.
As with all Calmar's products these systems are designed to be simple to operate, maintenance free turnkey solutions.
They will find applications in Ti-sapphire amplifier seeding, multi-photon microscopy, semiconductor characterisation, network component testing, bio-medical research and metrology, to name a few.
Calmar Optcom's fibre laser products are available from Lambda Photometrics, the company's UK distributor.
