Del Mar Photonics Introduces Trestles Fourth Harmonic Generator

San Diego, CA, August 8, 2006 - Del Mar Photonics, Inc. introduces the Trestles Fourth Harmonic Generator (FHG). Trestles FHG is designed to work with Ti:sapphire lasers, such as the Trestles Ti:sapphire laser to provide fourth harmonic generation. Trestles FHG is an affordable and easy solution to generating pulses around 200 nm.
 

Trestles FHG is available in two versions. The first version uses the third harmonic mixed with the fundamental wavelength to produce fourth harmonic generation. This option provides the fundamental, as well as the second, third and fourth harmonics. For input of 810 nm, 1 W, 82MHz and 50 fs, output of the fourth harmonic is at 203 nm, 300-400 fs and power is 3 mW. The second option uses two separate second harmonic generation stages to produce fourth harmonic generation. With input of 810 nm, 1 W, 82 MHz and 50 fs, output of the fourth harmonic is at 210 nm, pulse width of 500 fs and power of 10 mW.

The Trestles FHG from Del Mar Photonics is an easily installed solution for adding functionality to any femtosecond laser system. Extended ranges will increase capabilities for research, and specific applications such as microscopy and spectroscopy.

Femtosecond Ti:Sapphire oscillators and amplifiers from Del Mar Photonics

Do you plan to build a femtosecond set up based on Ti:Sapphire laser?

Del Mar Photonics is please to announce several new Ti:Sapphire oscillator and amplifier products. Now Del Mar Photonics' customers can choose one of the following oscillator and amplifier options:

Femtosecond Ti:Sapphire Oscillator

1. If you already have a CW pump laser or plan to buy specific model and need only Ti:Sapphire oscillator we can offer our stand alone Ti:Sapphire lasers Trestles, that do not include pump laser and can be customized for any suitable CW pump.

Please indicate required pulse duration (standard models have 20 fs, 50 fs and 100 fs pulses) and tuning range. Let us know what kind of pump laser you have (make/model) so we can confirm what output parameters can be achieved.

2. If you do not have a pump laser and want to buy complete system we can offer you one of the following:
One-box system Trestles Finesse that include Trestles mini Ti:Sapphire oscillator and built in DPSS pump laser

When choosing specific Trestles Finesse model please indicate required CW pump power (4W or 6W), Ti:Sapphire pulse duration and required tuning range (or tuning range, where you want to achieve maximum performance)

Tuning range can be customized at the factory by choosing one of standard or custom made optics set. Typical tuning curves for 4W CW pump laser for two standard optics sets are shown in the Trestles Finesse brochure. For example, with 4W CW pump laser and long-wave mirrors set tuning range can be extended up to 940nm. With 6W CW pump laser tuning range can be extended up to 980nm.

Femtosecond Ti:Sapphire Amplifier


1. We offer integrated oscillator/amplifier system Teahupoo Rider. Teahupoo Rider is a fully-integrated all-in-one-box system that includes Trestles Finesse oscillator or Buccaneer SHG diode-pumped fiber oscillator, pulse stretcher, regenerative amplifier pumped by multi kHz Nd:YAG pump laser and pulse compressor. Teahupoo Rider has a factory preinstalled repetition rate of 2, 5 or 10kHz and ideal for low cost femtosecond micromachining systems, OPA pumping, ultrafast spectroscopy and variety of applications in life sciences.

2. If you already have a Ti:Sapphire oscillator, we can offer you stand alone Ti:Sapphire amplifier. Two standard models are available: Wedge M multipass or Wedge R regenerative.

Ti:Sapphire oscillator and multipass amplifier

Each amplifier is customized to the customer's amplifier pump laser.

2. Custom Teahupoo Rider systems with a pump laser of your choice are also available. Depending on the required specifications we can recommend a pump laser and make required adjustments for optimum performance.
The following specifications can be achieved:
Repetition rate: single pulses, 10 Hz up to 10kHz
Pulse duration: 100fs, 50fs, 30fs, <30fs
Pulse energy: from 100 mJ per pulse to few mJ per pulse
Tunability: both fixed wavelength and tunable options are available - please indicate required tuning range.
