18 Dec 2009 The fiber-based picosecond laser (PSL) is an actively mode-locked fiber laser with repetition rates available from 0.1 to 40 GHz. Wavelengths include 780, 1060, 1550 and 1580nm bands. PSL provides a stable and reliable optical clock with turnkey operation. Along with a portable design, the Eureka series offers user-friendly front panel control knobs for flexible adjustment of wavelength and output power. The pulse width is factory selectable from 1.2 to 10ps, with transform-limited spectral width and better than -20dB pedestal. An option to adjust the pulse width from 1.5 to 10 ps is available in the C band with the PSL-10-TT model. The timing jitter is as low as 50 fs and the side mode suppression is larger than 75dB. An output power of greater than 20 mW obviates the need for an additional optical amplification stage. Options for 780 nm or 1 µm wavelength emission are also available. Repetition rates available at 10, 20, 25, and 40GHz continuously tunable. |
