Where to Buy Kerr Lens Mode-locked Lasers

The FLINT oscillators are based on an Yb-doped crystal pumped with high brightness laser diodes. The generation of femtosecond pulses is achieved with Kerr lens mode-locking. Once started, mode-locking remains stable over a long period and is immune to minor mechanical impact. The oscillator cavity length can be adjusted using an optional piezo actuator. The FLINT oscillators can also be equipped with carrier–envelope phase (CEP) stabilization and repetition rate locking to an external source.

The Collegiate™ ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser kit is the latest installment of the original KMLabs few-cycle oscillators. When it was introduced in 1994, this was the first commercial Ti:sapphire laser capable of generating pulses less than 12 femtoseconds in duration. Since then, as technology has evolved, KMLabs has been proud to continue pushing the boundaries in ultrafast laser science to some of the most challenging and advanced demands in the research field. Through this evolution, as KMLabs has expanded into offering turn-key laser systems, Collegiate endures as a workhorse user-serviceable laser, providing an entry-level Ti:sapphire laser system with state-of-the-art performance appropriate for both educational and research environments.
