Where to Buy Ultrafast Amplifiers

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.

Class 5 Photonics delivers ultrafast, high-power laser technology at outstanding performance to advance demanding applications from bio-imaging to ultrafast material science and attosecond science. Our robust optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers (OPCPA) provide high-power, tunable femtosecond pulses at user-friendly operation.

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.
