10 Jan 2021 We now have a full range of low power benchtop Mendocino ultrafast fiber lasers with output wavelengths of 780, 850, 1310 and 1550 nm and pulse widths of < 0.3 ps. With GHz synchronization signals and timing jitter as low as 200 fs, these sources are perfect for telecommunication component testing, high speed transceiver conformance testing and photodiode characterization. The benchtop (FPL-03RC) series is an ideal short pulse optical source for R&D and test/measurement applications or for generation of terahertz radiation with either GaAs or InGaAs photoconductive antennae.
Along with a portable design, this system offers user-friendly front panel control knobs for adjustment of the output power and pulse width with a simple optical switch to select the required output wavelength. A passively mode-locked fiber laser produces < 100 fs pulses at 1550 nm with the 780 nm output achieved through second harmonic generation in an ultra compact laser head. The laser utilizes the proprietary Mendocino saturable absorber technology, which has been developed and perfected over a twenty-year period, to deliver reproducible mode-locking at turn-on with excellent stability and reliability. The high quality spatial mode ensures excellent focusability for tetrahertz generation and multiphoton microscopy applications |
