07 Jan 2016 1GHz spaced frequency comb by Laser Quantum! The taccor comb is the NEW extension to the successful taccor range. An excellent extension which provides significantly enhanced SNR for heterodyne beat measurements or direct frequency comb spectroscopy applications.
At next month’s Photonics West show in San Francisco, Laser Quantum will launch the latest member of the unique taccor family. The high repetition rate of the taccor family has always had benefits for frequency comb generation and now the taccor comb is offered as a complete frequency comb.
The comb comprises; a powerful 1GHz turn-key Ti:Sapphire laser and a matched dispersion compensation module, super-continuum generation and ultra-stable f-to-2f interferometer all in a single sealed and ultra-stable housing. In partnership with Menlo Systems, the taccor comb is fully stabilised using the XPS800-E feedback loop electronics and provides an electrical output signal at the carrier-envelope offset (CEO) frequency with at least 40dB signal-to-noise ratio in 300kHz bandwidth. The taccor comb provides the ideal solution for customers who seek to have a comb source with easy access to the visible and NIR spectral range at a high mode power level in a sealed, plug and play architecture. The high repetition rate of 1GHz leads to a large mode spacing and high power per mode on the order of typically 1μW after broadening. In addition, the comb offers high repetition rates enabling generation of significantly more supercontinuum average power in a PCF compared to systems at 100MHz (100x more) or 250MHz (16x more) before significant nonlinear coherence loss is suffered. This leads to a significantly enhanced SNR for heterodyne beat measurements or direct frequency comb spectroscopy applications.
