Lasers

By R&D Editors | February 12, 2013

Spectra-Physics, a Newport Corp. brand, offers two scientific lasers, the Matisse and the Solstice.

The high-power Matisse is a tunable, single-frequency laser with over 6.5 W of output and narrowest 60 kHz external linewidth. The Matisse laser is pumped with Millennia eV to maximize performance.  Combined with its near diffraction-limited TEM00 beam quality, the Matisse laser is suitable for applications such as molecular and atomic cooling, trapping and spectroscopy, atomic clocks, and microcavities.

The Solstice is a one-box ultrafast amplifier that produces <50 femtosecond (fs) pulses in the kHz repetition rate regime and doubles the peak power at > 70 GW. Long-term stability is guaranteed over a 10°C temperature range to ensure reliable data collection. Spectra-Physics’ XP cavity provides beam quality for driving optical parameter amplifier (OPA) systems with M2 <1.3.  The Solstice is intended for ultrafast applications including time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, micromachining, and nonlinear optics.
