PHAROS is a diode pumped femtosecond laser with an integrated oscillator and amplifier. The amplifier delivers pulse energy >1.5 mJ and output power >15W. The pulse duration is tunable from 200 fs to 10 ps. Included pulse picker allows pulse-on-demand operation and a variable repetition rate from single shot pulses to 1 MHz. Operating parameters are adjustable from the touch-screen remote control or external PC connected via USB interface. PHAROS has a compact and robust optomechanical design and includes easy replacing modules with temperature stabilized and sealed housings. Thus ensuring stable operation within varying (industrial) environments. The external dimension of PHAROS is 60x36x21 cm³. PHAROS can be also used as a pump laser for OPA / NOPA systems (ORPHEUS), so one gets a UV-IR tunable femtosecond pulse light source. Other options like harmonic generators (OEM module or stand-alone device) are also available.

The easy handling and high stability predestine the laser for the industrial application in the micromachining area. PHAROS is also an attractive research tool due to plenty available options and due to the flexibility of PHAROS.

TiF series of femtosecond Ti:Sapphire lasers cover the spectral range between 700 and 1030 nm and are developed for pulses with a duration of 20, 50 or 100 femtoseconds (average output power >1.5 W). The compact model TIF-M can be used if not much space available. We can also deliver customized systems, optimized to your particular needs. Such modifications make our laser systems very flexible and attractive for educational and scientific purposes. Therefore, we offer a low-cost laser kit that contains all important optical and mechanical components needed.

Femtosecond fiber lasers are perfect sources for THz spectroscopy, amplifier system seeding, ultrafast spectroscopy, optical metrology, microscopy, optical coherence tomography and telecommunications. Fiber lasers are easy to use and very compact.

Specifications:

Pulse length from <80 fs to 5 ps, repetition rate 25-80 MHz, wavelength 1560 nm, TEMoo, average output power 50 mW (EFO series) and 250 mW (EFOA series). EFOA-SH specs: wavelength 780 nm, pulse length 120 fs, average output power >80 mW

The Er-doped fiber laser system is characterized by rigid design and small size. These qualities ensure insensitivity to physical and vibration impact, high stability and repeatability on initial specifications. The PErL laser is a nice budget-friendly solution for low-power applications, such as amplifier systems seeding. High frequency electrical output of the laser can be used as a trigger for synchronization systems. The laser can act as a stand-alone pulse source, as well as operate in complex systems.

Pulse length 250-5000 fs, repetition rate 50 MHz, wavelength 1560 nm, TEMoo, average output power 50 mW

The chromium-forsterite laser produces femtosecond pulses in near-infrared around 1250 nm. The oscillator can be directly pumped with CW lasers operating at 1064 nm or with an Ytterbium fiber laser that emits at 1054 nm. That offers a significant reduction in system cost compared to femtosecond lasers pumped in the 532 nm region. CW version of the CrF-65 is available separately as the LF-100 laser with average output power up to 400 mW (at 10 Watt pump power) and tuning range 1210-1290 nm.

Pulse length <70 fs, repetition rate 75-125 MHz, wavelength range 1230-1270 nm, TEMoo, average output power 180-250 mW.

The pulse compressor is used for controlling dispersion amount of femtosecond laser radiation. The ability to change GVD (group velocity dispersion) at wide range allows to pre-compress dispersion introduced by additional optics, for example optical parts of the microscope, and obtains minimal pulse duration directly at the irradiated sample. Two variants of the APC compressor possess different dispersion ranges for various possible setups. Our device helps to add negative dispersion to the fs pulse before injecting the pulse into the microscope. Optimal pulse management can be achieved by the combination of APC pulse compressor and the scanning autocorrelator AA-10DD (microscope-adapted version available).

For the evaluation and measurement of femtosecond pulses TOPAG offers different measuring systems. On the one hand the autocorrelators as scanning-, or single shot version and on the other hand the cross-correlators and interferometer SPIDER. This enables the acquisition of the spectral phase information of femtosecond pulses from which e.g. the pulse length is calculated.
