| Company | Product Description |
 Industriestrasse 42 8152 Glattbrugg Switzerland |  The MENHIR-1550 SERIES is the first 1-GHz turn-key femtosecond laser at 1550 nm allowing for ultra-low noise optical frequency comb with wide comb-spacing. Hermetically sealed and all-in-one (laser and electronic is one box), Menhir Photonics’ products have been designed to achieve lowest phase noise combined with high-reliability and robustness. See us at SPIE Photonics 2024 in San Francisco, January 30 – February 1 (booth 3215)! |
 All wavelengths. Lochhamer Schlag 19 82166 Gräfelfing Germany  www.toptica.comFacebook LinkedIn Twitter YouTube E-mail: (See the company profile page for additional contact information.) ISO 9001:2015 |  TOPTICA’s Difference Frequency Comb (DFC) is a compact, robust, high-end solution featuring turn-key operation in a 19 inch format. The patented CERO technology uses difference frequency generation for an all-optical phase-lock of νCEO. Thanks to its intrinsic stability, the DFC is the number one choice for anyone looking for high-end performance combined with a high level of robustness. See us at SPIE Photonics 2024 in San Francisco, January 30 – February 1 (booths 1543, 3507, 3611)! |
 Pioneering Photonics Avenue des Pâquiers 1 2072 St-Blaise Switzerland |  Alpes Lasers offers mid-IR frequency combs centred around 6 μm or 8 μm. The QCL comb is a stand alone device as it integrates the pump laser and the microcavity in its waveguide contrarily to other comb technologies. This makes it a very compact comb source. Being based on QCL technology, comb devices can be manufactured over all the MWIR and LWIR. |
 Keep us in the loop… 14998 W. 6th Ave., Suite 700 Golden, CO 80401 United States |  Vescent Photonics offers the FFC-100 fiber frequency comb – a fully stabilizable, self-referenced, octave-spanning frequency comb source. Central wavelength: 1560 nm. You can lock fopt at 1556 nm or 778 nm. See us at SPIE Photonics 2024 in San Francisco, January 30 – February 1 (booth 2530)! |
