The fiber laser based chirped pulse amplification system (FLCPA) starts with a passively mode-locked seed fiberlaser. The short pulse is time stretched by frequency (chirped) for lower intensity amplification through a highpower fiber amplifier stage. Up to 30 μJ of short pulse energy is delivered into free space, with a typical minimum
pulse width of 370 fs.
The pulse repetition rate and pulse energy are user selectable. The pulse width is tunable up to 30 ps. Minimum
pulse width and its pulse shape can both be optimized for any given pulse repetition rate. Our Aribtrary Pulse
Picker feature allows you to easily select individual pulses to be emitted from the laser. An RF output signal isprovided to allow easy synchronization to the laser. Our unique data log is a powerful tool both for system diagnostics and quality assurance, measuring and recording all relevant laser performance data over the life of thelaser. Optional pulse compression can generate < 100 fs at a specific energy level.
The Cazadero Scientific fiber based femtosecond laser is lightweight, compact, and flexible, offering a reliable,
cost-effective alternative to solid state laser amplifiers for biomedical, scientific, industrial, and research applications.
