Description

Menlo Systems’ fiber-based femtosecond laser sources integrate the latest achievements in fiber technology into easy-to-use products. Menlo Systems’ unique figure 9® design results in reproducible and long-term stable operation. It is based on the well-established Nonlinear Amplifying Loop Mirror (NALM) mode locking mechanism. Both oscillator and amplifier use polarization maintaining (PM) fiber components only, ensuring excellent stability and low-noise operation. The laser is maintenance free, user installed and ready to use at the press of a single button. Customize your laser with the available options to match the requirements of your application. Complete synchronization solution is available with laser and synchronization electronics. All components from one supplier with full automation guarantees hands off operation and more time for your experiments.

    Synchronization: Laser to reference

    Synchronization Laser ReferenceRelative Phase Noise between stabilized laser and 10 MHz reference:

    RMS Timing Jitter: <200 fs [0.1 Hz–500 kHz] or same as reference, whichever applies first

    Integrated timing jitter of free running laser: <2 fs [rms, 10 kHz.. 1 MHz]

     

    Synchronization: Laser to laser

    Synchronization Laser Laser

    Relative Phase Noise between two lasers in master-slave configuration
