Powerful Femtosecond Laser @ 1030 nm

Toptica’s FemtoFiber pro SCYb provides laser pulses with a center wavelength of 1030 nm and a duration below 100 fs.

The turnkey system delivers typically 700 mW average output power making it suited as a source for specific applications in nonlinear microscopy or terahertz generation. The laser system is based on a very stable, SAM mode-locked Er-doped oscillator operating at 1560 nm. The oscillator output is frequency-shifted towards 1030 nm using a nonlinear fiber. Yb-doped fiber amplifiers level up the power to typically 700 mW at the laser output.

The system also includes a small grating compressor unit to achieve transform-limited output pulses of typically 90-100 fs, with more than 70 % of the total power in the main peak. It operates at a repetition rate of 80 MHz and provides a TEM00-beam shape with M2<1.2 and a beam diameter of 2 mm.
