Where to Buy Scientific Lasers

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

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.

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.

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.

The Stuttgart Instruments Alpha is an ultrafast and fully wavelength-tunable frequency conversion system in an ultra-compact and completely passively stable system based on revolutionary parametric oscillator design which guarantees outstanding stability, reproducibility and shot-noise limited performance.

The revolutionary design of Stuttgart Instruments Alpha, characterized by outstanding low noise and passive long-term stability, is based on the fiber-feedback optical parametric oscillator (FFOPO) technology and results in outstanding performance and high flexibility at the same time.

The Alpha covers a gap-free rapid tunable spectral range from 700 nm to 20 µm wavelengths, while maintaining high output power up to the Watt-level with femto- or picosecond pulses at several MHz pulse repetition rates. It provides multiple simultaneously tunable outputs with a selectable bandwidth from a few to 100 cm⁻¹. Shot-noise limited performance above 300 kHz, passive spectral stability (< 0.02 % rms) and wavelength-independent stable beam pointing (< 30 µrad) enable excellent sensitivity. In addition, each Alpha is equipped with a user-friendly ethernet and Wi-Fi interface and a matching graphical user interface (GUI) as well as easy to access API interfaces for e.g. LabView, Phyton, C++.

Typically, the Alpha is pumped by an ultra-low-noise Primus pump laser, which provides more than 8 W average output power at 1040 nm wavelength and 450 fs pulse duration at 42 MHz repetition rate. In addition, the Alpha can be operated with other pump lasers around 1 µm wavelength and enough power.

Due to our modular platform, the Alpha can be adapted and optimized for various applications and is particularly suited for spectroscopic applications requiring a robust and reliable tunable radiation with low noise.

Scientific lasers are offered for many research areas and represent one of the main product categories of ALPHALAS. In addition, solutions for customer-specific designs with individual non-standard features and parameters are offered.

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.

PHAROS is a series of femtosecond lasers combining multi‑millijoule pulse energy and high average power. PHAROS features a mechanical and optical design optimized for both scientific and industrial applications. A compact, thermally‑stabilized, and sealed design enables PHAROS integration into various optical setups and machining workstations. The robust optomechanical design provides an exceptional laser lifetime and 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 (100 fs – 20 ps), repetition rate (single-shot – 1 MHz), pulse energy (up to 4 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 options, including carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization, repetition rate locking to an external source, automated harmonic modules and optical parametric amplifiers.

CNI offers a wide range of lasers, which are often used for scientific applications. For example, we offer:

• laser diode modules, e.g. narrow-linewidth DFB lasers, picosecond lasers, alignment lasers and others
• diode-pumped solid-state lasers with high stability, low noise, high output power or pulse energy, Q-switched and mode-locked picosecond versions, etc.
• fiber lasers with SM or MM fiber output, pulse width <200 ps, tunable versions with 1–250 ns pulse width, modulation rates up to 1 MHz

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.
