Where to Buy Ultrafast Amplifiers

INO’s FastFBR Tapered fiber is a low-photodarkening Yb-doped tapered PM fiber featuring a 56 µm core output and a patented fiber design enhancing the differential bending losses of the high-order modes. This technology is the perfect solution for achieving high power output in an ultrafast laser system while preserving an excellent mode quality and a linearly polarized output. The INO FastFBR taper is available either as a bare fiber or already packaged in a LaserNGN gain module.

AFS’s customized kW average power and multi-mJ pulse energy ultrafast laser systems are based on AFS leading-edge fiber technology. They unite multiple main-amplifier channels using coherent combination, a technology which AFS has matured to an industrial grade. All essential parameters are software-controlled and can be tuned over a wide range, making them an extremely valuable tool for numerous application.

Thorlabs manufactures erbium (Er) and ytterbium (Yb) fiber amplifiers for ultrafast pulse amplification. Along with these stand-alone benchtop amplifiers, Thorlabs has developed an entire family of femtosecond lasers utilizing oscillator-amplifier architectures.

Based on Cycle's own femtosecond fiber lasers, the company also offers fiber-based amplifiers (EDFA) with a center wavelength of 1550 nm to 1700 nm. This variant of the SOPRANO-15 is a very attractive solution to amplify the output of beam arrival monitors in synchrotron or FEL facilities, for example. Other custom-made fiber amplifiers are available upon request.

The RAEA™ Ti:sapphire amplifier builds on KMLabs’ 20-year tradition of leadership in ultrafast science, bringing the unmatched flexibility of previous amplifier systems into a single, hands-free platform. Engineered for high harmonic generation (HHG): now you can stop worrying about the pump. Beyond serving the multitude of applications for which Ti:sapphire lasers have become ubiquitous, RAEA is especially designed as an unparalleled source for producing short wavelength light via high harmonic generation. The award-winning RAEA has been engineered for the most challenging applications rather than the most common, and was specifically designed with the XUUS system in mind for high harmonic generation. From better beam quality and stability, to remote alignment and lower maintenance needs, RAEA serves as a repeatable and reliable source for any of your high harmonic generation needs.

AMPHOS offers ultrafast laser systems, including amplified systems with average output powers up to 1000 W at 1030 nm. Possible pulse durations range from femtoseconds to nanoseconds. There are also frequency-converted versions emitting at 515 nm or 343 nm.

Typical applications are OPCPA pumping, attosecond physics, high harmonic generation and laser material processing.

Find harmony in four perfectly synchronised and precisely tunable wavelength outputs produced by the Fluence Harmony Optical Parametric Amplifier (OPA).

Fluence Harmony is a device that precisely converts ultrafast pulses of one band (e.g. 1030-nm pulses coming from Fluence Jasper) into a set of pulsed laser beams tunable in an extremely broad spectrum of wavelengths, ranging from 210 nm up to 2600 nm. All automated, all software-controlled.

A growing number of ultrafast spectroscopy techniques has prompted the need for a robust and reliable, self-diagnostic device like Harmony. The optical parametric amplifier is fully compatible with all femtosecond lasers and provides automated tuning across the basic tuning range.
