- Due to continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice. The parameters marked ‘typical’ are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture. Presented parameters can be customized to meet customer‘s requirements.
- Maximum pulse energy specified at 840 nm, SH output at 420 nm, TH output at 280 nm and FH output at 210 nm.
- Harmonic outputs are optional. Specifications valid with respective harmonic module purchased. Outputs are not simultaneous. Maximum harmonic energy depends on OPCPA signal beam profile and pulse duration.
- Maximum pump energy for harmonics limited to 10 mJ @ 840 nm.
- Optional extended tuning range of 700 – 1010 nm available upon request.
- Standard pulse duration changes though the wavelength range – shortest pulse duration is achieved ~840 nm spectral range.
- Separate ‘F10’ option can be ordered to reduce pulse duration to ≤ 10 fs. Wavelength tunability not available with ‘F10’ option.
- Under stable environmental conditions, normalized to average pulse energy (RMS, averaged from 60 s).
- Measured over 8 hours period after 30 min warm-up when ambient temperature variation is less than ±2 °C.
- Super-Gaussian spatial mode of 6-11th order in near field.
- Beam diameter is measured at signal output at 1/e2 level for Gaussian beams and FWHM level for Super-Gaussian beams.
- Beam pointing stability is evaluated as movement of the beam centroid in the focal plane of a focusing element (RMS, averaged from 30 s).
- Pulse contrast is only limited by amplified parametric fluorescence (APFC) in the temporal range of ~90 ps which covers OPCPA pump pulse duration and is better than 107:1. APFC contrast depends on OPCPA saturation level. Our OPCPA systems are ASE-free and pulse contrast value in nanosecond range is limited only by measurement device capabilities (third-order autocorrelator). There are no pre-pulses generated in the system and post-pulses are eliminated by using wedged transmission optics.
- Optical pulse jitter with respect to electrical outputs:
– Trig out > 3.5 V @ 50 Ω
– Pre-Trig out > 1 V @ 50 Ω
– PLL option > 1 V @ 50 Ω - System sizes are preliminary and depend on customer lab layout and additional options purchased.
- Longer umbilical with up to 10 m for flash lamp pumped and up to 5 m for diode pumped systems available upon request.
- The laser and auxiliary units must be settled in such a place void of dust and aerosols. It is advisable to operate the laser in air conditioned room, provided that the laser is placed at a distance from air conditioning outlets. The laser should be positioned on a solid worktable. Access from one side should be ensured.
- Voltage fluctuations allowed are +10 % / -15 % from nominal value.
- Required current rating can be calculated by dividing power rating by mains voltage. Power rating is given in apparent power (kVA) for systems with flash lamp power supplies and in real power (kW) for systems without flash lamp power supplies where reactive power is neglectable.
Note: Laser must be connected to the mains electricity all the time. If there will be no mains electricity for longer that 1 hour then laser (system) needs warm up for a few hours before switching on.
