taccor – Ultrafast Femtosecond Lasers
The taccor family offers a range of femtosecond lasers with a repetition rate of 1 GHz or 10 GHz. They are all turnkey products that combine the pump laser and oscillator in a compact mono-block design that greatly reduces the maintenance needs.
Best for: frequency combs, dual-comb spectroscopy, ASOPS, quantum light generation, nonlinear microscopy
Key advantage: GHz repetition rate
Compatibility: Repetition rate stabilization electronics
Overview
1 and 10 GHz femtosecond lasers with a compact mono-block design that greatly reduces maintenance needs.
taccor Power: Designed and tuned to offer the highest power for the configuration, up to 1.8 W.
taccor Tune: A tuneable wavelength for applications where different wavelengths is required. Controlled via a simple touch-screen control (or software) to alter the output wavelength.
taccor X10: A turn-key femtosecond laser with a 10 GHz repetition rate, delivering more than 1 W of average power in pulses as short as 50 fs.
Designed for Robust, Long-Term Performance
- Remote connection capability – Internet connectivity for control, diagnosis and optimization.
- Hermetically sealed – Fully sealed cavity ensures long, contamination-free lifetimes.
- 2 years/5000 hour warranty – Full specification, industry-leading warranty.
Self-Starting & Maintaining
- Self-starting and maintaining – The laser starts electronically and constantly monitors its locking profile to ensure continued mode-locking performance.
- Repetition rate locking – Optional upgrade to allow repetition rate locking to external electronics.
- Highest power – The laser is optimized during its build to ensure the highest power is delivered.
- CEP upgrade – The taccor can be prepared for CEP locking.
Minimal User Interaction
- Fit and forget user experience, minimal of user interaction is required.
- No installation required, only needs to be plugged not an electrical power supply.
