The Wyvern HE ultrafast amplifier system delivers 9 mJ pulse energy with <45 fs pulse duration at a 1 kHz repetition rate. System performance exceeds that of traditional multistage ultrafast amplifiers, as it also provides 9 W of average power. Utilities for the system include use with high-energy optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs).KMLabs
Boulder, CO[email protected]More Products ----- PRESS RELEASE WyvernHE Our newest dragon has arrived... The Wyvern HE ultrafast amplifier system provides an unprecedented 9 mJ pulse energy with <45 fs pulse duration at 1 kHz repetition rate (tunable from 1 to 5 kHz via computer control), using a single-stage, compact regenerative Ti:sapphire amplifier. The performance exceeds traditional multi-stage ultrafast amplifiers at these pulse energies and repetition rates, offering: 9 mJ @ 1 kHz combined pulse energy and average power (9W) for the most-demanding applications such as high-energy OPAs Simple single-stage, single pump laser amplifier for robust, easy-to-use operation, excellent beam quality ~50% smaller footprint, ~40% cost reduction 303-544-9068 [email protected]www.kmlabs.com -----Follow us on Twitter Subscribe now to Laser Focus World magazine; it's free!
