FC1500-250 Call for Pricing Erbium Optical Frequency Synthesizer

FC1500-250

The output from a femtosecond fiber laser isamplified and spectrally broadened in a highlynonlinear optical fiber. This supercontinuumcomprises a comb of frequency lines, separated by thelaser repetition rate and with an arbitrary frequencyoffset. By phase locking the comb spacing and theoffset frequency to a radio frequency (RF) referencesource, the comb will form an accurate frequencyruler covering the entire near infrared region of 1050 to 2100 nm.

This operational range can be extended to the visiblepart of the spectrum by amplifying and frequencydoubling part of the laser output and then broadeningit in a photonic crystal fiber. The visible combspanning 530 - 900 nm retains the phase stability.

The frequency comb provides a direct link betweenthe optical and microwave frequencies in bothdirections. Phase-locked to an RF reference, anyunknown optical frequency can then be measured bysimply comparing its frequency to that of the nearesttooth of the stabilized frequency comb. The accuracyof the measurement is only limited by the reference.Reversely, by phase locking one tooth of the frequencycomb to a continuous wave (CW) laser that is lockedto a narrow atomic transition or high finesseresonator, the frequency comb divides the extremelyrapid optical oscillations of this optical reference tocountable microwave frequencies.

Asynchronous Optical Sampling (ASOPS)The asynchronous optical sampling technique allows high-speed scanning over a few nanoseconds of time delaywithout a mechanical delay line. The ultrafast lasers delivering the pump and probe pulses are locked togetherat a tunable repetition rate difference.

Advantages of the ASOPS technique over conventional sampling techniques requiring a mechanical delay stageinclude faster data acquisition times and the absence of limitations that are common to moving components(e.g., beam pointing instability and limited scanning speed).

XPS800 Femtosecond Phase Stabilization

Femtosecond Phase Stabilization

The XPS800 Femtosecond Phase Stabilization Unitgives you control of your ultrashort pulses and theircarrier envelope offset phase.

Operation Principle

The pulses from the femtosecond laser are broadenedin a nonlinear photonic crystal fiber to achieve anoctave-spanning spectrum. A nonlinear interferometersubsequently generates the signal for offset frequencystabilization by beating the frequency-doubled infraredpart with the green part of the spectrum. This beatsignal is filtered, amplified, and fed to the lockingelectronics. The offset frequency is phase locked to ¼ of the repetition frequency. For this task therepetition frequency is divided by 4 and sent to Port 1of our digital phase detector. The input for Port 2 ofthe phase detector is the amplified and filtered offsetfrequency signal. A proportional-intergral-feedbackcircuit that drives an acousto-optical modulator or apiezo actuator closes the control loop.

APS800 Amplifier Phase StabilizationDuring amplification of phase-stabilized femtosecond pulses,slow carrier-envelope phase drifts occur. The Menlo SystemsAPS800 is used to monitor and stabilize this phase relationafter the amplifier. The APS800 expands full phase control tothe regime of high-power optical pulses used in today’s mostdemanding experiments of attophysics and related areas.

Operation Principle

To monitor the slow carrier-envelope phase drifts, a small partof the amplifier output is split off and spectrally broadened in asapphire plate. In an optical interferometer, the green part ofthe resulting octave-spanning spectrum is overlapped with thefrequency-doubled infrared part.

With the help of a spectrometer and control softwarealgorithms, the resulting interferogram is analyzed, and a slowcorrection signal is generated. This signal is fed into thecorresponding input port of the phase stabilization electronicsXPS800 or similar control electronic setups.

APS800

The phase stabilization technology is covered by severalinternational patents (e.g., see EU patent EP 1161782 and USpatent 6,785,303 B1). Menlo Systems holds the exclusive rightson these patents.

OCTAVIUS-1G Call for Pricing 1 GHz, 6 fs Ti:Sapphire Oscillator

Octavius-1G: The 1 GHz, 6 fs Ti:Sapphire Oscillator

Menlo Systems’ Octavius-1G Ti:Sapphire laser offers the broadest spectrumcommercially available. The spectrum allows for carrier-offset frequencystabilization without external spectral broadening. The high repetition rateis useful for high-cycling pump-probe experiments like AsynchronousOptical Sampling (ASOPS) and frequency comb applications. The 1 GHzversion of the Octavius can also be used in linear and nonlinear biologicalprobing and imaging applications.

The Octavius Technology

The Octavius-1G laser cavity incorporates dispersive octave-spanning mirror pairs,which are necessary for high-precision group-delay control over an entire octave-widebandwidth. During the fabrication process of these unique mirror pairs, more than 100 individual layers aredeposited on each surface, thereby guaranteeing well-behaved, smooth pulse dispersion. To create such short pulses, the spectralbandwidth must exceed that of the gain medium in the Ti:Sapphire laser. The high intensity of the short pulses induces self-phasemodulation (SPM), which creates additional intracavity spectral broadening beyond that of the gain medium in the Ti:Sapphire laser. Theuniquely engineered cavity of the Octavius-1G exploits the interplay between the strong SPM in the Ti:Sapphire crystal and the dispersiongenerated by the mirror pairs to generate stable, ultra-short pulses that cannot be produced using standard cavity designs. The spectralcontent (i.e., frequencies, amplitudes, and phases) given within one octave of bandwidth enables a robust, long-term stable, f/2f carrier-envelope-offset frequency beat detection with more than 30 dB signal-to-noise ratio in a 100 kHz bandwidth.

OCTAVIUS-85M

Menlo Systems’ Octavius-85M Ti:Sapphire laser offers the broadest spectrumcommercially available. The spectrum of this laser system is well suited foramplifier seeding, particularly for optical parametric chirped pulseamplifiers (OPCPA), as well as for attosecond pulse generation or use inpump/probe experiments. In addition, this version of the Octavius canalso be used in linear and nonlinear biological probing and imagingapplications.

Mechanical Design of the Octavius Lasers

Ease of use and mechanical robustness were at the forefront of the design for theOctavius lasers. Unlike typical laser designs, which use traditional translation stages fortuning and alignment, the alignment of the Octavius is controlled using a unique flexure stagedesign that eliminates the various materials generally used for springs, bearings, and frames whilestill maintaining unprecedented accuracy and repeatability. The crystal and pump lens positions, as well as the curvedmirror separation, are all tracked using optical linear position encoders that provide ~1 µm resolution. Switchingbetween multiple working configurations becomes seamless. By using a rigid, thermally stabilized platform andregulating the crystal temperature using a TEC controller, excellent long- and short-term stability are achieved whileproviding a solid base for robust environmental operation.

Menlo Systems’ Avalanche Photodetector(APD) series provides an extremely light-sensitive alternative to traditional PINphotodiodes. The APDs are sensitive and fast enough for the characterization of pulsed laserson the the order of nanoseconds. The silicon avalanche photodiode of the APD210 providesexceptional performance for low-light applications in the 400 - 1000 nm range, while theAPD310 covers the InGaAs range of 850 - 1650 nm. The APD maintains high-gain stabilityover the operating temperature range by utilizing a temperature-compensation circuit, whichadjusts the ~150 VDC bias to ensure operation near the breakdown voltage.

A 40 dB gain amplifier is integrated into the package and is AC-coupled to band the outputBNC. The output is matched to 50 Ω impedance. The detector has an electronic width of1 MHz to 1 GHz and offers a user-accessible potentiometer providing a continuous gainadjustment. The APD series has SM05 threads for easy integration into Thorlabs’ entire familyof lens tubes and cage assemblies. The bottom of the detector has a metric (M4) mounting holeand an M4 to #8-32 adapter for post mounting. The compact packaging allows the APD to besubstituted directly into an existing setup while maintaining a small footprint on the benchtop.These photodetectors are not suitable for pulses longer than 30 ns or continuous light levels.Please see the FPD510 series on page 1263 for alternatives.
