Where to Buy Mode-locked Lasers
Mode-locked lasers generate trains of picosecond of femtosecond pulses, with pulse durations between about 5 fs and 50 ps. They are mostly solid-state bulk or fiber lasers, but one also uses dye lasers and mode-locked laser diodes. Cavity dumping and/or amplification may be used for higher pulse energies.

Company | Product Description |
![]() Fully automated ultrafast tunable laser systems Curiestraße 2 70563 Stuttgart Germany | ![]() The Stuttgart Instruments Primus is an ultrafast (fs) mode-locked oscillator, based on the solid-state technology. It provides a high average output power combined with a superior low noise level (shot noise limit above 300 kHz) and an excellent long-term stability. The solid-state technology with 1040 nm central wavelength enables the excellent long-term stability by providing several watts of output power at 40 MHz pulse repetition rate and 450 fs pulse duration. Its superior low noise level reaches the shot noise limit above 300 kHz. In combination with the stability and output power, it enables ultrasensitive measurements and makes the Primus perfectly suited as pump source for frequency converters like the Stuttgart Instruments Alpha. The entire system is encapsulated in a solid CNC-cut and water-cooled housing, thus reaching excellent robustness against external perturbations. |
