taccor – Ultrafast Femtosecond Lasers

The taccor family offers a range of femtosecond lasers with a repetition rate of 1 GHz. They are all turn-key products that combine the pump laser and oscillator in a compact mono-block design that greatly reduces the maintenance needs compared to other similar designs.

taccor – Ultrafast Femtosecond Lasers
Description

1 and 10 GHz femtosecond lasers with a compact mono-block design that greatly reduces maintenance needs.

 

taccor Power

The taccor power is designed and tuned to offer the highest power for the configuration, up to 1.8 W.

 

taccor Tune

A tuneable wavelength for applications where different wavelengths is required. Controlled via a simple touch-screen control (or software) to alter the output wavelength.

 

taccor X10

A turn-key femtosecond laser with a 10 GHz repetition rate, delivering more than 1 W of average power in pulses as short as 50 fs.

Self-Starting & Maintaining

  • Self-starting and maintaining – The laser starts electronically and constantly monitors its locking profile to ensure continued mode-locking performance.
  • Repetition rate locking – Optional upgrade to allow repetition rate locking to external electronics.
  • Highest power – The laser is optimized during its build to ensure the highest power is delivered.
  • CEP upgrade – This laser can be build as either CEP stabilized or in preparation for future upgrades.

*Laser Quantum operates a continuous improvement programme which can result in specifications being improved without notice.

1: The value stated is for ~800nm and will vary across the tuning range.

2: Measured as the spectral centroid.

3: Choose between blue (740-880nm) and red (780-910nm) tuning range upon order.

4: Achieved using optional extra cavity dispersion compensation.

5: Noise bandwidth 1 Hz to 1MHz.

6: FWHM beam diameter at laser exit.

7: Repetition rate accuracy +/-100kHz (+/-25MHz for taccor x10). Other repetition rates available upon request.

8: Measured over 8 hours after cold start within operating temperature range.
