Toptica Launches New UCP Model of FemtoFiber Pro Fiber Lasers

Developer of ultrafast fiber lasers, Toptica Photonics has launched a new ultra compressed pulse (UCP) variant of the FemtoFiber pro tunable fiber family.

The UCP system offers an output power of over 30 mW, and a supercontinuum between 980 and 1400 nm. The system has pulse durations of less than 25 fs, and it is suitable for fs-spectroscopy, pump-probe experiments, or biophotonics.

The FemtoFiber pro UCP model is based on the saturable absorber mirror (SAM) mode-locking technology and a core pumped fiber amplifier. The master oscillator power amplifier platform is entirely based on polarization-maintaining fibers. The SAM technology assures firm mode-locking under any lab scenario, while the all-fiber arrangement ensures sturdiness against changes in the environment.

The UCP model incorporates two prism compressors. The first prism compressor optimizes the supercontinuum that is produced by a nonlinear fiber. The second compressor is utilized for optimizing the pulse duration. The repetition rate of the FemtoFiber pro UCP system is 80 MHz. A maximum of three fiber coupled seed ports convert each FemtoFiber pro variant into a multi-beam, complex laser system. In 2009, Toptica had launched the FemtoFiber pro SCIR, NIR, and IR fiber laser models.
