Power amplifier Tsunami® series

electronichigh-speedultra-rapid

The Tsunami® ultrafast Ti:Sapphire oscillator series provides unmatched flexibility and capability. The Tsunami series’ regenerative mode-locking mechanism sustains transform limited pulses, even during perturbation of the cavity, and enables coverage of a broad range of wavelengths with short femtosecond pulses out to very long picosecond pulses. • High-performance optics (HP models) offer the broadest tuning range of 700 nm – >1080 nm • High peak power of >337 kW efficiently drives non-linear optical processes • Regenerative mode locking for long-term stability • Stable mode locking at the edges of tuning range Applications • Ultrafast Spectroscopy • Deep-penetration multiphoton imaging • Micromachining • Seed source for high-energy amplifiers • High harmonic generation • Ultrafast tissue ablation Superior Design The superior design of the Tsunami prism dispersion compensation enables short, transform-limited pulses. The unique l-track prism movement enables excellent beam pointing as the laser is tuned. The use of slits for wavelength selection in femtosecond operation, combined with advanced dispersion compensation allows wide pulse duration adjustment over the femtosecond range from 900 femtoseconds. The Tsunami laser can then be easily converted to picosecond mode to cover from less than 2 picoseconds to greater than 100 picoseconds with use of the appropriate GTI. Flexibility The Tsunami series contains the flexibility to have both femtosecond and picosecond pulses on the same platform with the 3960 series, a femtosecond only version with the 3941, and picosecond only with the 3950 series.
