Description
The tunable lasers can be combined with optical amplifiers or fibre amplifiers for direct wavelength amplification, or with frequency converted systems to access second harmonics and sum or difference frequency mixing.
For Sr/Yb clock systems see:
Injection-Locked Amplifiers: 800mW at 461nm, >200mW at 399nm
Linear Cavity SHG systems: 1W at 461nm, 399nm
The MSA series of amplified lasers provides a compact, robust, stable system with integrated seed laser and tapered amplifier diode to provide up to 5W of optical output.
The design features wire-cut flexure mounts for the input and output coupling lenses, which provide outstanding passive stability as well as easy user-replacement of the TA chip after reaching end-of-life.
A wide range of isolators can be used, including compact isolators with 4mm aperture, through to double-stage isolators with 5mm aperture.
The MSA seeded amplifier uses the unique inherently self-aligning cateye laser with its very low frequency drift and industry-leading low passive linewidth.
