Femtosecond optical parametric oscillator Tsunami®

Ti:sapphire

The Tsunami® ultrafast Ti:Sapphire oscillator series provides unmatched flexibility and capability. The Tsunami utilizes a unique regenerative mode-locking mechanism sustains pulsed operation even during perturbation of the cavity. Tsunami enables a broad wavelength tuning range and can generate pulse widths from less than 30 fs to more than 100 ps. • High-performance optics (HP models) offer the broadest tuning range of 700 nm – >1080 nm • Regenerative mode locking for industry leading long-term stability • Capable of long pulses >100 ps • Ultrafast Spectroscopy • Deep-penetration multiphoton imaging • Micromachining • Seed source for high-energy amplifiers • High harmonic generation • Ultrafast tissue ablation Superior Design The superior design of the Tsunami prism dispersion compensation enables short, transform-limited pulses. The unique λ-track prism movement enables excellent beam pointing as the laser is tuned. The use of slits for wavelength selection in femtosecond operation, combined with advanced dispersion compensation allows wide pulse duration adjustment over the femtosecond range from 900 femtoseconds. The Tsunami laser can then be easily converted to picosecond mode to cover from less than 2 picoseconds to greater than 100 picoseconds with use of the appropriate GTI. Flexibility The Tsunami series contains the flexibility to have both femtosecond and picosecond pulses on the same platform with the 3960 series, a femtosecond only version with the 3941, and picosecond only with the 3950 series.
