Where to Buy Scientific Lasers

Menlo Systems' portfolio of scientific lasers covers femtosecond fiber lasers, including laser stabilization and synchronization, ultrastable lasers with ultranarrow linewidth, and microjoule lasers.

We offer erbium and ytterbium doped femtosecond fiber lasers with optional subsequent frequency conversion to cover a wide wavelength range for spectroscopic applications. Based on Menlo figure 9® patented mode locking technology, our lasers are unique in regard to user-friendliness and robustness. We offer solutions for laser stabilization, laser synchronization and ASOPS, and complete timing distribution systems.

Our ultrastable lasers with ultranarrow linewidth are available at nearly any wavelength to serve applications such as optical clocks interrogation.

The PHAROS is a series of femtosecond lasers combining millijoule pulse energy and high average power. The PHAROS features a mechanical and optical design optimized for both scientific and industrial applications. A compact, thermally-stabilized, and sealed design enables the integration of PHAROS into various optical setups and machining workstations. The diode-pumped Yb laser medium significantly reduces maintenance costs and provides a long laser lifetime, while the robust optomechanical design enables stable operation in varying environments.

The tunability of PHAROS allows the system to cover applications normally requiring multiple different laser systems. Tunable parameters include pulse duration (190 fs – 20 ps), repetition rate (single-shot – 1 MHz), pulse energy (up to 2 mJ), and average power (up to 20 W). A pulse-on-demand mode is available using the built-in pulse picker. The versatility of PHAROS can be extended by a variety of optional modules.

Sacher Lasertechnik offers various scientific lasers:

• wavelength-tunable diode lasers with Littrow or Littman–Metcalf cavities for output wavelengths between 370 nm and 2450 nm; also high-power versions with up to 1 W output power
• frequency-doubled and frequency-quadrupled laser systems for output wavelengths between 205 nm and 540 nm
• tapered amplifier systems with up to 3 W output power, seeded with free-space or fiber-coupled beams, and complete MOPA systems
• quantum cascade lasers for mid-IR spectroscopy, including tunable versions

Ultrafast laser systems from AMPHOS are used in scientific applications such as OPCPA pumping, attosecond physics, high harmonic generation and free electron lasers. Due to the high performance, such as up to 1 kW average output power with the Amphos5000, scientists can explore physics in extreme parameter ranges and with high signal-to-noise ratios due to high pulse repetition rates.

What kind of laser do you need for your research? A tunable supercontinuum laser for your materials and nano-photonics research or perhaps for bioimaging and microscopy? A single frequency laser for atomic, molecular & optical physics?

We have a wide range of advanced and reliable lasers for many different applications.

Our employees have pushed the boundaries of what is possible with femtosecond lasers over the last decade. Our solutions range from compact options all the way to complex high-power femtosecond laser beamlines with multiple output ports.

Thorlabs manufactures an extensive selection of ultrafast lasers and related products for control and characterization. Applications from nonlinear excitation and amplifier seeding to THz and supercontinuum generation are served by a family of products covering a spectral range from 700 – 4500 nm. Femtosecond fiber lasers and Ti:sapphire oscillators are among our key ultrafast laser offerings. Complimenting our ultrafast laser systems is a suite of chirped mirrors, low GDD optics, and related products for pulse measurement, pre-compensation, and dispersion measurement.

The Stuttgart Instruments Alpha system is a modular, wavelength-tunable laser covering the 700 nm to 20 µm spectral range. It provides ultrafast pulses at MHz repetition rates and milliwatt- to watt-level power. Due to its excellent passive long-term stability, outstanding performance at the shot-noise limit and broad spectral range, it is ideally suited for sensitive IR applications.

The Alpha system can be configured optimum for your application. Its basic version is tunable from 1.35 µm to 4.5 µm, but can be upgraded to higher power, to the VIS (700 – 980 nm), the NIR (1.1 – 1.4 µm) and the MIR range (4.5 – 20 µm). Each module is field upgradable, and the entire system is fully automated and controlled via a user-friendly GUI.

GWU-Lasertechnik has more than 30 years of experience in lasers and nonlinear optics. We are the pioneer of commercial BBO OPO technology. Our widely tunable laser sources cover the spectral range from the deep-UV at <190 nm to the IR at >2700 nm. We offer pulsed solutions for nano-, pico- and femtosecond pulses with best performance and highest reliability. With a vast flexibility and a huge versatility, GWU’s laser products can serve the needs even for the most demanding scientific applications.

We specialize in designing and manufacturing custom-made and OEM lasers to suit our clients' particular needs. In fact, 75% of the lasers manufactured involve some type of custom work.

All Radiantis broadly tunable lasers are specially designed for the scientific community. Femtosecond and picosecond pulses as well as continuous-wave (CW) temporal regimes are provided with automatic tuning across the UV, visible and IR.

TOPTICA's products are widely and successfully used for scientific applications in fundamental quantum technology. In these fields quantum physics, quantum optics, atom optics, photonics, statistical physics and related fields are investigated in order to understand the basics of quantum technology. Whenever a laser is required – pulsed or cw, tunable or actively frequency stabilized – a frequency comb or even a complete solution combining many lasers and photonicals, TOPTICA is the ideal partner.
