Ultrafast lasers are a family of fs/ps lasers available as oscillator with MHz repetition rate and nJ pulse energies and as amplified systems in kHz / mJ domain.
AMPLIFIERS
Benefits of Cryogenic Cooling
KMLabs uses compact He-gas cryo-cooling systems or liquid He cryorefrigerator systems. These are compact, fully-interlocked and maintenance-free, and can be configured to minimize vibration for demanding applications such as carrier envelope phase stabilization.
Cryogenic cooling reduces the thermal lens by a factor of 250 at 100W of pump. This makes the optical alignment insensitive to the pump power, and thus allows real-time change of the repetition rate, without optical realignment.
Wyvern™ Regenerative Ti:sapphireAmplifier
The Wyvern™ single-stage regenerative amplifier system offers unprecedented and unmatched performance from a single-box, single-stage amplifier system, including rapid and simple control of repetition-rate and pulse energy with "hands-off" operation and exclusive KMLabs feature available across the entire Wyvern product series.
Pulse energies up to 5.5mJ and repetition rates between 1kHz – to 1MHz together with the Wyvern's short pulses are exceptionally well-suited to nonlinear optics applications, including OPA, NOPA, harmonic conversion and white light generation.
Dragon™ Multipass Ti:sapphire Laser Amplifier
The Dragon™ is the highest average power, shortest pulse, single-stage ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser system on the market, allowing software-controlled real- time changes in repetition rate, without optical realignment. The Dragon can incorporate a range of different pump lasers operating between 1 and 20kHz.
