ULTRA-NARROW LINEWIDTH, CW TI:
SAPPHIRE LASER WITH INTEGRATED GREEN PUMP LASER

  • An evolution based on our heritage in industrial semiconductor applications, SolsTiS PI combines our award-winning SolsTiS titanium sapphire laser with our Equinox green pump laser into a single, integrated platform offering unprecedented levels of stability, compactness and ease of use while retaining all the benefits of the continuous-wave, ultra-narrow linewidth and broadly tunable architecture that SolsTiS is known for.
 /

Award-winning SolsTiS is a next generation continuous-wave Ti:Sapphire laser designed to meet the needs of pioneering scientists looking for high performance, ease of use, system flexibility and reliability. This fully-automated, compact system features a completely sealed, alignment-free cavity with hands-free operation, an unprecedented tuning range, unrivalled power, and the ultimate narrow linewidth, low-noise output. SolsTiS PI has an output power of >5 W, linewidths <100 kHz and amplitude noise of <0.075 %. Fully-integrated accessories such as beam pick-off and fiber coupling are available.

FEATURES

BROAD, CONTINUOUS TUNING

Continuous tuning from 700 - 1000 nm with a single optics set. Optional integrated frequency conversion modules can further extend this to cover 210 nm – 4 μm.

ULTRA-NARROW LINEWIDTHS

Ultra-narrow linewidths of <100 kHz absolute linewidth, with options to achieve Hertz level linewidth via an external, ultra-stable reference. Overall, SolsTiS is the quietest and most stable TiS laser available with free running linewidths close to 100 kHz.

HIGH POWER

Custom, low-loss optics in the laser ring resonator enable output power levels >5 W. There is no compromise from having a single device covering 300 nm, and exceptional power levels are found at the edges of the tuning range. High powers of >2.5 W are possible in SHG.

WIDE CONTINUOUS SCANS

Continuous, single-mode, high-resolution scans over >25 GHz, up to 300 nm (with TeraScan option). Automatically stitch together consecutive segments to achieve high-resolution scans over >100 nm with high repeatability and linearity.

CUSTOM, COMPACT DESIGN

Smallest laser in its class. A sealed resonator eliminates dust contamination and enables robust, reliable performance. Materials minimise effects from vibrations and thermal variations, resulting in a stable, low-frequency drift laser. Anti-humidity system and purge ports allow trouble-free operation across atmospheric absorptions.

FULLY-AUTOMATED

Fully-automated with wavelength tuning and locking via a web interface or published set of TCP/IP controls. Option to use third-party applications such as LabVIEW and MATLAB. Resonator elements are also accessible through external voltage inputs for active feedback.

ULTRA-STABLE OUTPUT

Ultra-stable output with relative intensity noise 0.075 % RMS with exceptional stability on longer timescales. Automatic locking of cavity elements allows continuous running over long time durations with no interruptions.

INTEGRATED EXTENSIONS

Integrated extension modules are available to extend the tuning range from 210 nm to 4000 nm. These feature interlocking base plates and connecting lens tubes that enclose any beam paths not part of the final output. Beam pick off and fiber launch modules available.

INTEGRATED PUMP SOURCE

The pump source Equinox, is a single-frequency CW 532 nm laser and is inherently stable, low-noise, naturally compact, robust and fully-automated. A linewidth <1 MHz makes it one of the narrowest linewidth lasers in its class.
