All your comb applications at your fingertips:
SmartComb is an optical metrology system in a revolutionary compact package.
In just 19” 3U it features the first fully automated turn-key optical frequency comb
designed and built for use both in- and outside the optics lab. It measures your opticalfrequency anywhere between 630-2000 nm. Feed in your laser and get the frequency
with 14 digits. Alternatively, it provides you with optical reference lines in the same
spectral range (choose wavelength on ordering).
With its internal RF-reference, SmartComb can be used as a standalone device.
For highest precision measurements, a radio frequency or an optical reference input isavailable to stabilize the SmartComb.
IDue to its modular design, SmartComb is one of the most versatile frequency comb
system on the market: Internal units can be adapted to measure different wavelengths
or be replaced with amplifiers to provide up to 6 output ports. Additional external modules are retrofittable, to provide higher powers, customized spectra and pulse lengths.
SmartComb has a robust design. Its underlying proprietary technology based onffigure 9® lasers has already been verified onboard of aircraft and sounding
rockets, proving it is well-suited even for demanding environments.
