This short-pulse picosecond laser generates multi-Watt output at a modelocked pulse duration of 0.7 … 2 ps (set at factory). It is an integrated, hermetically sealed Ytterbium solid-state laser, which is pumped by an external fiber-coupled laser diode (see for example the LDC-1000-980-HP Laser Diode & Controller model).
Based on an Ytterbium-doped solid state laser crystal, this ultrafast laser generates pulsed, modelocked operation in a robust and self-starting way. The pulses are 0.7 ... 2 ps long (set at factory) and show excellent stability with respect to noise, modelocked-Q-switching instabilities and double pulsing. Modelocking is initiated by a Semiconductor Saturable Absorber Mirror (SeSAM) optimized for 1-ps-operation. The laser is pumped by the external, fiber-coupled laser diode.
Requires LDC-1000-980-HP Laser Diode & Controller model (not included), or equivalent.
Applications include pumping of picosecond OPOs, seeding of amplifiers, etc.
