High Power, narrow Linewidth Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA) System for Optical Cooling and Trapping

22 Sep 2011

The TEC-420 Amplified Littman Laser System consists of a Littman/Metcalf master laser amplified by a tapered amplifier stage up to 500 … 2500mW. It takes advantage of the beam-walk free wavelength tuning of the Littman/Metcalf design which is required for a stable amplification stage.
