Picosecond fibre seed lasers

Low-power picosecond sources for seeded amplifiers and time-resolved optical systems.

  • 920-1570 nm selected bands
  • 3-100 ps listed options
  • Polarization-maintaining fibre delivery

Select a narrowband or broadband seed according to the downstream amplifier and pulse-processing chain. The tabulated alternatives preserve their separate wavelength, pulse and power limits.

Configuration options

Each row is a separate configuration. Limits from different rows must not be combined.

Conditions and configuration notes

  • The repetition rate and pulse duration are fixed choices within the stated intervals; those intervals are not a claim of user adjustment on every unit.
  • Average power depends on wavelength, repetition rate and pulse settings. Maxima from different options must not be combined into one operating point.
  • Optional fibre-Bragg-grating stretchers need to be matched to the intended compressor.
  • A near-transform-limited description is qualitative here; confirm the numerical spectral bandwidth for the chosen pulse.

Applications to discuss

  • Time-resolved spectroscopy
